Spyderco This Items is a great Folding Blade Knife

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

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.

My boy absolutely loves this thing! Very easy to assemble and a great way to teach how a lock back knife like this works. This is also a great way to teach younger children how to safely and properly handle a knife which will allow me to determine when I feel my son is responsible enough to use a knife of his own. Also, the glow in the dark plastic this knife is made out of is absolutely ridiculous! I never had a single glow in the dark toy that glowed this freaking bright! Seriously, this thing must put out at least 10-20 lumens of light when fully exposed/charged up. Lol

Fun toy knife to teach my kids proper care of knife's.

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.

This was really fun to assemble. It doesn't take much pressure to "unlock" the blade, but at least this plastic model didn't break like the wooden one did. I was disappointed it didn't have a pocket clip! And it would have been nice if the blade had a false edge so that it could be used as a letter opener or something.
