Kershaw Cinder Stonewashed Keychain Knife

The Kershaw Cinder is one of the smallest functional knives Kershaw makes, a compact 1.4-inch stonewashed stainless blade built specifically for keychain carry, small enough to always have within reach for the tiny cutting jobs that come up throughout a normal day.

That stonewash finish handles daily scuffs and scratches without showing wear the way a polished blade would, practical for a knife that's likely to knock around on a keyring with other hardware. A liner lock secures the blade with dependable, thin-profile lockup even at this small scale, and an integrated bottle opener adds everyday utility beyond just cutting, turning the Cinder into a dual-purpose tool rather than a single-function blade. A lanyard hole and thumb stud round out the practical details for fast, easy one-handed opening. For anyone who wants a blade on their keys rather than just a decorative fob, the Cinder delivers on both fronts without adding any meaningful weight or bulk to an already-loaded keyring or pocket.

Kershaw backs the Cinder with the same limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that covers the full lineup, confidence in a knife small enough to forget is even there until it's actually needed. Explore more Specialty Knives.
