Kid loves it

My 3 year old great grandson, according to his father, just loves the knife. He says it was easy to put together and the boy plays with it everyday.

Great inexpensive & unique gift!

Very clear instructions. Very unique knife, and by choosing different stains, you have a great deal of input into the final look. I purchased stain (samples) for $.49, from Home Depot and one sample did the entire knife. Also given as a gift, and I included 4 different color stains, for the individual to choose from. Painted the blade silver, after sharpening. The different type wood insert in the handle also makes it look very unique.

Fun project

I bought two of these for my kids (7 and 3), and we had a lot of fun putting them together. The wooden "spring" lock is awesome, and I think this is a great way to introduce young kids to the safe handling of knives. The knives seem strong (though the blade is quite thin, so not for prying, etc.), however the metal pins that hold it together do seem a bit loose (they don't fall out, but the handles need to be pushed back together after a few uses. Not a big deal, and nothing a few drops of glue won't fix. You will need some wax for the blade/lock to achieve a smooth opening. I ended up finishing these with a bees wax based wooden spoon finish, and they look great!

excellent fun young boy learning knife ...

My stepson was a little confused with the kit to start with, but when I put it together and he has seen he has ' his very own knife! ' I think its a winner! And I had a great time putting it together... think I may order the other version for myself, just for the fun of building it and staining my own real nice...great product!

I bought this for my 3 year old because I have heaps of knives and he wanted one. He loves it and the fact the blade comes blunt and you sand it to you liking is awesome, he uses it to open boxes and noodle packets and the like and carries it everywhere with him. Great first knife

Fun kit for nephews

It was great to give these to my young nephews (4 & 5 yrs old). They are to young for a real pocket knife, so they were both very excited to have their own "pocket knife". Also, this was a chance to make something together. Very easy to assemble, good design. a bit trickier if you want it perfectly sanded stained etc.

great knife

We got this for our 4 year old because he wanted a knife like his big brothers. I was worried he would see right through and be upset it wasn't "real", but he LOVES it. He takes it everywhere. He uses it to open things like the plastic around dvd's and such. Wood is beautiful, very well crafted. It all pops together without any need for tools, but does suggest the option of using wood glue to seal it. We didn't have any on hand, and it was still very solid.

A Good Knife Trainer

Bought two of these for my girls, who are now old enough to ask for knives of their own. The idea is they can assemble these themselves and so learn a little bit about knife construction and maintenance, and then carry them for a while to demonstrate responsibility and safety, but without actually hurting themselves or anybody/anything else. Two-toned wood is much nicer (and the same price) as the plastic versions, which is good. The wood blanks are quite rough and will need some finishing work, which is not so good. The blades are blunt, which is ideal for what I want, and the actual opening and closing isn't great, but again, for what I want, they shouldn't be opened and closed very often.

Wooden Pocket Knife

I got this kit to put together with my kid. Over all satisfied with the product. It was simple to assemble and we enjoyed the process. Part of the spring was broken but I just glued it back together.
