Here in Zulu we call it a 'panga' and it's maybe 5 centimetres or two inches wide, about a metre or three feet long with a wooden handle on one end and a rounded tip that is bent away from the plane of the blade by maybe 30 degrees a fifth of the way back from the tip. we also call it a cane knife or a grass knife.
