Overview
This Kershaw 1025X fixed-blade knife runs 4 inches overall and weighs just 22.68 grams, built around a stainless steel blade and a glass-reinforced nylon handle. It suits light carry duty rather than heavy field work.
Kershaw has built its reputation on blade quality across pocket and fixed knives, and the 1025X leans into that with a stainless blade paired to a textured GRN handle for grip in wet or gloved hands. At under an ounce, it reads as a backup or scout-style knife rather than a primary bushcraft tool. The listing does not specify a steel grade, so buyers wanting that detail should check current Amazon photos.
- 4 inch overall length
- 22.68 gram weight
- Glass reinforced nylon handle
- Rated 4.6 from about 5,900 buyers
Who it's for
Campers, scouts and EDC carriers who want an ultralight fixed blade to keep in a pack or first aid kit. Not aimed at anyone needing a blade for batoning or heavy outdoor tasks.
Pros and cons
- Under an ounce total weight
- Compact 4 inch overall length
- Textured nylon handle for grip
- No blade steel grade specified
- Small size limits heavy cutting tasks
Performance notes
The stainless steel blade and glass-reinforced nylon handle keep total weight to 22.68 grams, which is what allows the 1025X to disappear into a pack or pocket. That same light build means it is better matched to trimming and light utility cuts than sustained heavy-duty work.
