The Royal Kukri Machete has an overall length of approximately 52.7 cm, a blade length of approximately 39.4 cm, and a blade thickness of approximately 2.8 mm. It weighs about 600 g. The lanyard hole at the end of the handle is for attaching a lanyard loop, which prevents the hand from slipping, avoids losing the tool in the field, and provides additional safety and leverage during heavy chopping.
