I'm looking around to find a suitable kit to make my littleuns first knife. All the kits seem really pricey - is there a sub £30 option?
I don't know hold old your lad is but this is a brilliant little kit for a working folder made of softwood:

It's also £6.50 to your door.

If you buy a Lauri buy the factory bolster too and follow THISboth carbon and stainless, also they have square shoulders for the bolster which makes fitting easier than the lauri.
Thanks. I'm going to do most of the making with him helping out. I know it seems young but he'll be supervised at all times and is used to chopping veg with kitchen knives etc.
Dulling the edge will make it more dangerous. You'd be better off leaving it sharp & properly training/supervising him
