“The overall average on this has to come up. IMO, no one should give a one star review because they didn't get tools with their (obviously) unfinished kit order. It is a good and solid product. As to the one star review, both of the units I purchased came with the appropriate micro bits. In any case I bought a tool for this a few years ago for other knife kits. One of these knives is going to be a thank you to a guy who donated some left over fairly exotic South American flooring planks. (I've forgotten the species.) Looking forward to doing the kit.”

“I bought two kits for a father son project...and I'm happy with the final result. I cut the wood sides on my xcarve CNC using 1/8" mohogany wood. Unfortunately, I did not have the needed micro hex required to remove the tiny screws, but fortunately I found that a screw driver from an early Ring doorbell worked perfectly! Otherwise, you will probably have to buy the needed driver bit, which I measured right around 1.5mm. The Woodcraft instructions have you cut slightly oversized sides for the knife. I'm lazy, so I used the suggested cut outline and modeled it as an SVG and used my CNC to cut it. But you can easily cut this by hand with a coping saw. Here is a link to my CNC cutting project and SVG file: https://www.inventables.com/projects/woodriver-pocketknife-item-163955”

“I was wondering about get a cnc compatible drawing for the scale? It would speed up the time to make the several Christmas gifts I am making. I can convert the drawing just saves time. Roydan”

“Thought this would be a nice practical knife to make for myself. First, the screws require a micro hex key. I had to order a kit and hopefully will find the right size! Why doesn't Woodcraft include it? You need to remove the pocket clip to make the job easier and the smallest hex key I have is a 1.5mm, too big! Now I have to buy additional hex keys just for this project! Also, the guide they include for cutting out the wood blanks doesn't fit the knife worth a darn! I had to use some stiff paper and trace my own. Poor thought and planning for this knife!”
