Woods Monkey Half/Chete Fixed Blade Knife Stonewash/Black Micarta HALFCHETE3

The Woods Monkey Half/Chete Fixed Blade Knife in Stonewash and Black Micarta is built for the outdoorsman who wants machete-like cutting power in a more compact, carry-efficient design. Purpose-driven and field-ready, it blends chopping strength with controlled slicing ability, making it a versatile tool for clearing brush, camp chores, and backcountry use.

A 7" blade forged from 1095 carbon steel provides the strength and toughness needed for hard outdoor work. Known for its reliability and ease of sharpening, 1095 is a proven steel for demanding environments. The stonewash finish helps hide scratches and wear while adding a rugged, broken-in appearance that suits heavy use. The blade geometry is designed to deliver confident chopping performance while still offering the control needed for precision cutting tasks.

Full tang construction runs the length of the knife, reinforcing durability and stability under stress. The handle is built from Black Micarta, offering a secure, textured grip that performs well in all conditions. Its dark, no-nonsense look pairs with the blade’s utilitarian finish, while the ergonomic shaping supports extended use in the field. A lanyard hole adds additional retention options when needed.

Measuring 12.25" overall and weighing 8.8 ounces, the Half/Chete is significantly easier to carry than a traditional machete while still delivering impressive cutting capability when the job calls for it. It’s designed to stay comfortable on the belt without sacrificing performance.

A key part of the system is the included JRE sheath, constructed from reclaimed firehose with leather accents. The firehose material delivers extreme abrasion resistance and long-term durability, while the leather accents add structure, retention, and handcrafted detail. Each sheath carries unique character thanks to the reclaimed materials, giving every piece a distinct, work-worn appearance. A belt loop and dangler attachment provide multiple carry options for comfort and mobility.

Proudly made in Ohio, USA, the Half/Chete reflects practical design and hard-use capability built for real-world conditions.
