A length of the kanni has been cut, carved and filed into a cylindrical form. Its diameter has been kept even across the length. Both ends have been tapered into short and blunt points. A curved length of wood that contrasts that of the kanni has been filed into a guard component that has been lashed with nimwaerere above the exposed handle area of the length of kanni. The guard is crescent shaped and portrays one tapered point and a fractured stub bound with the nimwaerere. Two pairs of the noko line the length of the blade of the reeree. Each pair has been inlayed with wii ni bakoa. Each wii ni bakoa features a circular perforation that has been drilled through its centre. This is for the purpose of threading the kora. Kora has been used to lash and position both wii ni bakoa and the noko to the length of the reeree. This can be seen by its horizontal lashing. Lengths of the nimwaerere have been threaded and twined vertically through the lashing next to each of the noko and then used to attach the guard component. The guard component shows a similar fashion of lashing the noko and wii ni bakoa along its crescent shape. Loose selvedge's of the nimwaerere can be seen where the guard and barbed blade intersect as well as the point end.
