The knife makes a stable impression and can therefore expect a long life. The rounded blade prevent needlestick injuries, is on the side but sharp enough to tip branches, peeling bark and cut thinner branches - in principle so all want to do children with a knife so :-) For my taste, it could somewhat be less sharp ... The saw is herauszuklappen little hard at first. In my view this does not harm, because so our little girl is not even close to this but something more dangerous part, during the "Great" it creates if necessary well with a little sleight of hand. Small, handy, stable, relatively safe, all for about 10 euros. In retrospect, a good buy!
