Overview
Carrying a short drop point blade in a nylon handle is what the Kershaw 1025X is made for, in a black folding pocketknife that is manual in operation. The edge is plain and the blade is stainless steel.
A very light body and a short blade make it comfortable to carry every day for small cutting jobs. The limitation is the lock type and opening style, which the listing does not describe.
Who it's for
A pocket or keychain knife for boxes, string and light tasks is the use the listing names as everyday. A person who cuts rope, thick material or does fieldwork should choose a larger blade with a described lock.
Pros and cons
- Very light to carry
- Stainless steel blade
- Plain edge, easy to sharpen
- Lock type not described

- Hand wash only
- Opening method unstated
Performance notes
A short blade concentrates cutting force and limits reach, so it suits boxes, tape and light cord. Stainless steel resists corrosion, and the plain edge gives a clean pull cut that is easy to maintain.
