  Inspired by the newly observed $X(2085)$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we
study the strong decay behaviors of excited axialvector strange mesons within
the quark pair creation model. Our results indicate that the
$K_1(1793)/K_1(1861)$ can be regarded as the same $K_1(2P)$ state, and the
$K_1(1911)$ is assigned as the $K_1(2P^\prime)$ state. Considering the mass,
spin-parity, and decay behaviors, we interpret the newly observed $X(2085)$ as
the radially excited $K_1(3P)$ state, which mainly decays into the $\rho(1450)
K$, $\omega(1420)K$, $\pi K^*(1410)$, $\rho K_1(1270)$, and $\rho K^*(892)$
final states. Also, the width of $K_1(3P^\prime)$ state is predicted to be
about 300 MeV, which can be searched for by future experiments. We expect that
present calculations can help us to better understand the nature of the
$X(2085)$ structure.
