Review: Perfect for a mini survival kit - I wanted to put together a very small kit with some emergency essentials for hiking. I wanted a knife, magnesium fire starter, compass, some cordage, and a few other odds and ends to keep in a pocket in case of an emergency in the wild. I really wasn't planning on buying another knife for this-- I was planning on using a Swiss Army knife that I've had forever-- but the Cinder caught my eye. For $10 it was worth the gamble so I bought it and began evaluating it. It was fairly sharp out of the package but I spent a few minutes honing it and got it to where it will shave arm hairs. No, an emergency knife doesn't have to be this sharp, but it doesn't hurt and it's nice to have a sharp edge to cut paracord, etc. The short, slightly curved blade is very controllable for making fuzz sticks for kindling. It will also strike a decent spark on a magnesium fire starter. I also like that the blade locks into position. Since this is a knife that may see some abuse if it gets needed in an emergency, I wanted a blade that would be less likely to accidentally close. Everything else about the knife is fine. I like the option of using a lanyard, especially in an emergency. I put a couple of drops of oil on the pivot and the knife opens and closes smoothly. It's so small that it takes up very little room in my emergency kit, and it's so light that I hardly know it's there. It's a good choice if you want a knife that will be unobtrusive until it's needed.
Review: Perfect EDC Pocket Knife for Everyday Use - I am obsessed with my Kershaw Cinder pocket knife! It's like a tiny superhero that I carry with me everywhere. The 1.4-inch steel blade is so sharp and durable, making it perfect for all my daily cutting needs. The stonewashed finish gives it a cool rugged look that I love. The handle is made of glass-filled nylon, which makes it super lightweight and comfortable to hold. I can't get over how convenient the liner lock is, keeping the blade securely in place. And the bottle opener and lanyard hole are just the cherry on top! It's only 0.9 ounces, so it's like it's not even there until you need it. I highly recommend this little guy to anyone looking for a reliable, versatile, and stylish pocket knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A razor sharp tiny blade with decent steel at this cost?
*by F***K on February 5, 2026*

This is in my opinion a perfect keychain knife - it is far smaller in hand than you can imagine, but that is what you want from a piece like this. Nobody who understands physics - needs a bottle opener so my only gripe is for the blade to be a little more flat and longer sans bottle opener. Then again, it's cheap enough to discard or even just give to someone who needs a blade w/o hesitation. Kershaw really fills the gap Gerber tried to occupy, but with far more quality IMHO.
