A kilogram is not a measure of force. It is a measure of mass. They are not the same thing.
But, if it helps, there's about one of each involved in an acceleration of 1 m/s²

A force that causes an object with a mass of 1 kg to accelerate at 1 m/s is equivalent to 1 Newton

Although I already answered this question, I'll do so again, and abbreviate it even more so.
1 N = 1 KG x 1 M/SEC^2
One kilogram accelerated at one meter per second per second is equal to one newton.
There is no force on a stationary, 1 kg object.

By 1 kg force, do you mean the force a body of 1 kg exerts due to gravity ?
Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m per sec sq.
Hence, 1 kg f = 9.81 N = approx 10 N

Supposing that the kilogram force you mean is the one used by the spanish people...
1Kgf = 9,8 N
