Kershaw Cinder FAQ

The Kershaw Cinder is a compact, Hinderer-designed keychain knife that balances utility with a small footprint. It features a secure locking mechanism and an integrated bottle opener for everyday versatility.

How long is the blade on the Kershaw Cinder?
The Kershaw Cinder features a 1.4 inch stonewashed blade with an upswept tip. This compact size allows it to serve as a discreet tool for small cutting tasks without the bulk of a full sized folder.
Is the Kershaw Cinder easy to grip despite its small size?
Yes, the handle design allows most users to achieve a secure three finger grip. Rick Hinderer designed the ergonomics to ensure the knife stays stable during use, even for those with larger hands.
Does the Kershaw Cinder have a locking blade?
The Kershaw Cinder uses a liner lock to keep the blade securely in place during operation. While many small keychain knives are non-locking friction folders, this series provides the added safety of a mechanical lock.
