Is this Khukri strong enough for heavy use in the woods.

The quenched hardness that wavers between Rc 60-64 give this shallow hardening steel a tensile strength and abrasion resistance that can produce a powerful and long lasting tool. 1055 Carbon Steel does stain from acidic vegetables, brush, and foods like tomatoes. Thus, this knife has the black coating on the blade. More about 1055 Carbon steel? Please use your FREE search engine.

where was it manufactured?

Cold Steel Royal Kukri Machete, 97KMIGS is made in S. Africa

Yes, if you use the right tool. For example you can use Lansky "LPUK", The PUCK® Dual-Grit Sharpener, USB 0-80999-03700-3, or Lansky "LASH01", Axe/Machete Sharpener, USB 0-80999-09770-0. Each one of these two sharpeners sells for around $10.0

Does it have a lanyard hole?

Yes it has a very generous lanyard hole 550paracord will fit through with alittle extra. In my opinion a lanyard with a machete is not needed if I loose my grip I don't want this thing swinging around by the lanyard around my legs. But that's my opinion. To answer your question yes it does have a lanyard hole
