I bought this in Hawaii. The shop staff there told me with a serious expression, "This is ikaika, which means 'powerful energy'." ^_^ Thickness: 0.5cm The length of the cord is 40cm when extended as shown in the image. It has a rugged, weighty presence. It's made of a material that will become more familiar and deepen in character the more you use it. (Measured by an amateur) 6.6cm x Width 3cm Thickness 0.5cm Length 40cm *See image
