how do you measure the length of a machete - is it just the blade length or the entire length including the handle?

The length of the blade only. This sheath fits most of the machetes that you'll find at hardware or "big box" stores.

I go for two measurementsOver all tang to tip and working part of the machete

The blade on the Bolo Machete is 2mm. I have found it to be a good chopping tool and is quite capable of taking down 2" thick saplings and larger with no problem. It has a good spring temper to it.

Hi. The over all handle length is aprox. 4-15/16 in. The handle, measuring from where the blade first meets the handle to the start of the lanyard hole is aprox. 4-1/2 in. The top or palm portion is aprox. 4-1/8 in. The finger area is aprox 3-1/2 in. From finger to palm, the height of the handle is aprox 1-3/16 in. at its thickest. Lastly, the width or side to side is 13/16 in. at its widest point.

Think about a normal machete size. I'm not totally sure on length because I don't have a ruler or such handy but I'd say a a little over 18 inch blade length. Also as a bit of a heads up the handles on each blade are only suited for either right or left hand respectively. They get the job done though based on length for brush clearing etc.

The blade dimensions and overall length are as stated in the product description. Blade is about 8" I believe, and the handle is 5". Very good knife, hefty and solid, straight and sharp. I have been using it in the woods for about a year now, and the only issues I have had are a very slight amount of rust and that it loses it's edge after a somewhat small amount of use. But it won't break on you, I can promise you that (unless you try to use it as a pry-bar).

From the tip of the cutting edge to the handle, measurement is 4".Total length of knife is 8-1/4"

The blade is 10 inches. The wooden handle is about 5 inches plus. So the metal length is about 15 inches

The top of the blade measures 32 & 5/8 inches as measured from wooden handle to tip of blade, The cutting edge (i.e. saw teeth) measures 35 inches. However, on the bottom edge (just below the wooden handle) there is about one inch of steel that is not sharpened to cut anything.

The short answer is it's a BIG knife. I have been meaning to actually measure it for you, but I can't seem to remember when I'm home. My apologies. The handle is about 3-4 inches long as it fits well in my hand and I have tiny hands. I would estimate that the blade is about twice that from hilt to tip, so 7-8 inches.

Measuring along the blade itself, it is 4.25 inches. It is set an an angle.

I am traveling so cannot actually "measure" the blade length - but can tell you it is at least 4" to 4.5" in length. That is because I've pair of a different brand I don't like nearly as well that are only 3" long because I DID measure those ones. Wanted to remember NOT to buy the ones with the standard handles but shorty-length of blade. In fact, KitchenAid really ought to promote why the longer blade they provide is handier. (I'm almost positive they are NOT 5" or longer tho...so this range provided should give you a pretty good idea.) P.S. This is the CUTTING blade length I'm referencing....the whole scissor is, of course, longer than 5".

The sizes listed on the page are about accurate. Without actually measuring, I can estimate the blade to be about three feet and the handle about a foot, give or take.

The . Blade its self is 3 1/2 inches long I know it sounds short but it is perfect for hunting, gutting deer. I also keep an extra blade or two on hand for gifts.

The blade is 22" long and it has a o/a length of 31.5 ". The handle is long enough for two hands.

No. It's an exceptional knife, but it's only got a 5" blade. It's not a machete. It's tough enough to handle the job, but definitely the wrong tool for that task.

One inch from the end of the handle,so the whole length until one inch from end.

It is not a full tang but it is a 3/4 tang, I have owned the 13" blade model for many years and it out performs any other machete I have ever tried. I have used it to clear an entire acre of land and it barely needed sharpening. A true workhorse tool!
