These kits were first put together by a woodworking hobbyist as a Christmas gift for his son J.J. The pieces are hand cut and hand packaged in the USA. Each kit features six pieces cut from American hardwood; three metal pins; instructions; and metal storage tin. Blade(s) are unsharpened. Finished knife size is 3 1/2'' closed. Contains small parts, keep away from small children. This kit makes one single blade canoe. Great gift idea!
