Description
CRAIGHILL
38 grams. Always on the keyring. And still the knife everyone asks about.
The Craighill Sidewinder Knife Mini is not simply a smaller Sidewinder – Craighill describes it as “truncated rather than scaled down”: a distinct interpretation of the kinetic concept for daily keyring carry. At 38 g with a 3.3 cm blade, it is featherlight. With its lateral rotational opening mechanism, it is anything but ordinary. Designed by Chen Chen & Kai Williams, Brooklyn.
The gift for the person who needs a helping hand every day
A cardboard box. A foil wrapper. A letter. Small tasks that repeat daily and for which you either reach for scissors or strain your fingernails. The Sidewinder Mini solves exactly that – and it lives on the keyring, so it is always there when you need it. One owner wrote: “The knife is compact and allows me to quickly reach for it when I need a helping hand opening a box throughout my day.”
What makes the Mini exceptional is the mechanism. The lateral rotational motion that the Sidewinder is known for is not lost here – it is compressed. Design Milk described the Sidewinder as an object “under the guise of a kinetic sculpture.” The Mini carries that idea on your keyring every single day.
Featured in: Gear Patrol, Design Milk, New Atlas. Rated 4.7/5 stars. Backed by the Craighill For Life Guarantee: repair or replacement, no time limit.
Why 38 grams is a selling point
A keyring knife you can feel loses its spot. The Sidewinder Mini weighs 38 g – barely more than a large key. The keyring loop keeps it secure, the flipper mechanism opens the blade quickly and safely, and the liner lock holds it reliably in place. Blade length 3.3 cm in Swedish Sandvik 12C27N steel: sharp, corrosion-resistant, re-sharpenable.
As a gift: the Mini reaches everyone who values tools and understands design. It is the knife for everyday people with good taste – and for anyone who already has everything, just not a knife by Chen Chen & Kai Williams.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Sidewinder Mini genuinely suited for keyring carry?
Yes – that is exactly what it was built for. At 38 g with a built-in keyring loop and compact dimensions of 6.0 × 3.3 × 3.6 cm (closed), it is a genuine keyring companion. It disappears until you need it.
Is the mechanism difficult to figure out?
Not for long. One owner wrote: “It took me a few minutes to figure it out, and it is a very clever design.” The lateral rotational motion is unfamiliar but intuitive – once you have done it once, you don’t forget it. That is the heart of the Sidewinder design.
Is the Mini really just a smaller Standard model?
No. Craighill describes it as “truncated rather than scaled down” – a distinct interpretation, not a miniaturised copy. The Mini has a flipper mechanism and a keyring loop that the Standard does not. Both share the Sidewinder mechanism and the same design language, but they are built for different use profiles.
How sharp is the Mini blade?
Very sharp. One owner wrote: “It’s very sharp and has come in handy plenty of times already.” The Sandvik 12C27N blade holds a good edge for EDC tasks like opening boxes, cutting packaging, or slicing cord. At 3.3 cm blade length, the Mini is optimised for light to medium daily cutting.
Who is the Sidewinder Mini the right gift for?
For anyone who opens parcels daily, needs a small cutting tool on the go, and doesn’t want to compromise on design. For men and women who already own many good things but don’t yet have a kinetic knife on their keyring. Also ideal as a companion gift alongside a larger purchase – or as a “gift to myself.”
Can the Mini be carried without a keyring?
Yes. The keyring loop is a feature, not a requirement. The Mini can also be carried in a trouser pocket, a bag, or a case. Its compact dimensions make it comfortable in any carry configuration.
How is the Sidewinder Mini rated?
4.7 out of 5 stars from 6 reviews. Owners praise the compactness, quality, and the distinctive mechanism. One owner summed it up: “Love the design on this thing and it’s super compact, great keychain knife. It’s very sharp and has come in handy plenty of times already.”
