Each pair has been continuously inlayed with wii ni bakoa (sharks teeth). Central perforations have been made through each wii ni bakoa for the purpose of inserting the kora (cordage of coconut sennit fibres). Te kora has been used to lash both wii ni bakoa and the noko into position along the blade. Two coils of the irauea (cordage of human hair) have been lashed over the blade beneath the kora, the noko and wii ni bakoa. They are featured on the lower half of the blade. The end of the blade shows an exposed wooden point. Three crescent shaped parts have been attached to the end of the blade to portray the guards. All three are made from a wood type that contrasts that of the kanni. One features on one side and two are adjacent to this and joined just above this one. The kora has been used to lash all three parts and their attachments of wii ni bakoa, noko, kora and the irauea - all of which have been composed of similar fashion to that of the blade. The base handle area has been tapered into a short point.
