The large sickle claw on a Velociraptor's toe measured over 2.6 inches long on the outside curve. Keep in mind the entire Velociraptor was only about 2 feet tall and less than 6 feet long, weighing only 33 lb. The claw was used to severe the blood vessels and windpipe in the throat to kill prey, but it was capable of stabbing through any soft tissue.
