Opposite its base, the length of the kanni has been tapered into a point at the top. A section of the base has been left exposed for the purpose of a handle. The handle has been encased with a woven cover of ira. The irauea has been used to bind off the loose warp of the ira and woven into the weave. From beneath the ira, four pairs of noko in two different lengths extend towards the point along the length of the kanni. The noko features an evenly spaced inlay of wii ni bakoa. Each wii ni bakoa have circular perforations drilled through their centre for threading the kora through and lashing down the lengths of the noko. A bind of the irauea covers the ends of the short pairs of the noko with wii ni bakoa. The pointed end of the reeree shows where a width of the ira has been wrapped over the ends of the noko. In similar fashion to the intersection between the handle and barbed blade of the reeree, the irauea has been used to bind and weave into the ira leaving an extension of loose pinnules. Below the woven and bound ira near the point, a bind of the nimwaerere has been fastened over the noko.
