The Kershaw 1025CUX Cinder delivers reliable cutting performance in an ultra-compact keychain design. This stonewashed blade folder transforms pocket carry with its distinctive copper handle and practical 1.40-inch drop point blade.
What Makes This Different
The Cinder stands apart from standard keychain knives through its 3Cr13MoV stainless steel construction and precision stonewashed finish. While most micro folders sacrifice blade geometry for size, this model maintains a functional drop point profile that handles detail work effectively. The copper handle material provides superior grip texture compared to aluminum alternatives and develops a natural patina over time.
Key Features
- 1.40-inch drop point blade with stonewashed 3Cr13MoV stainless steel
- Copper handle construction with integrated key ring attachment
- Compact folding design measures under 3 inches overall length
- Plain edge blade geometry optimized for precision cutting tasks
- Frame lock mechanism ensures secure blade lockup during use
- Lightweight construction suitable for everyday keychain carry
- Corrosion-resistant blade finish withstands moisture exposure
Field performance centers on the blade's ability to handle small cutting tasks that defeat fingernails or tear materials. The drop point geometry excels at opening packages, cutting cord, and detail work where larger knives prove unwieldy. The copper handle develops grip-enhancing texture through natural oxidation, improving control during extended use. Blade retention remains secure through the frame lock system even under lateral pressure.
