This Items is a great Folding Blade Knife

I like spyderco kit too, but how on earth can this be a wise bit of kit?? Great for ones hand luggage and passing through security!!!!! Not bright on this occasion Spyderco.

I bought this a while ago in the hopes that I could teach proper knife handling to my daughter. Turns out this was great. Not only was it fun to build for the both of us, it was quite educational as both my daughter and I learned the internal mechanism of a lock back folder. The glo in the dark aspect makes her want to play with it and I can monitor and correct her if she doesn't handle it correctly.

Great product to teach youth about folding knife construction and general knife safety.

Sadly, this does not work as a cheap way to replace the knife scales on your actual Delica 4 with glow in the dark scales. As a kit to make a glow in the dark knife for a kid or as a letter opener or whatever it worked just fine. Assembly was very easy, the instructions were clear, and the final product works perfectly.

My son and I had a great time putting this together! It is very simple to assemble and can be done in less than 2 or 3 minutes. We took our time and sanded down the burs from breaking the pieces off and it still only took a about 8 minutes or so. Good short project for those that may not have great attention spans yet. He really loves it and keeps talking about how cool it is. He is learning to move his fingers out of the way when closing it and other knife safety practices. Great kit and really sturdy once assembled. I also think it is great that you can disassemble and reassemble it really easily so we can have fun pretending to maintain it! This seems way better than the wooden kits out there.

This is my second one of these. Bought them to teach knife safety to my kids (starting at age 2). They love that they get their own knife that glows; I like that it’s perfectly dull with nothing resembling an edge. I use these to teach them how to handle a folding knife safely, not touching the edge, keeping their hands and fingers out of the folding path, etc., and they will get their own real knife once they can demonstrate consistent safe handling (years later). Did I mention they love that it glows in the dark?! And I don’t have to worry about them hurting themselves while learning - of course, all while giving guidance and feedback. This is just a teaching tool and doesn’t replace the teacher.
