Overview
The Kershaw 1025X is a miniature folding knife priced at $10.99 with a 4.6-star rating from 5,934 owners. Its 1.4-inch blade size and 4-inch overall length make it one of the smallest folders in the category.
The blade is stainless steel and the handle is glass-reinforced nylon, keeping the weight to just 22.68 grams. That makes it effectively unnoticeable on a keychain or in a pocket.
With around 100 units sold per month and a low price, it is positioned as a budget backup rather than a primary knife. ToolHandle is an Amazon Associate and earns from qualifying purchases, which does not influence rankings.

Performance notes
The 1.4-inch blade and 4-inch overall length suit light duty only, like opening mail, cutting tape, and trimming string. At 22.68 grams the glass-reinforced nylon handle keeps it nearly weightless for keychain or pocket carry.
What buyers say
Owners rate it 4.6 stars and most appreciate the tiny size and low price. The recurring caveat is that the blade is small, which buyers expect given the keychain format.
