Woods Monkey Half/Chete Fixed Blade Knife Stonewash/Green Micarta HALFCHETE4

The Woods Monkey Half/Chete Fixed Blade Knife in Stonewash and Green Micarta is built for the outdoorsman who wants machete-style cutting power in a more compact, carry-friendly form. Designed for versatility in the field, it delivers strong chopping ability while still maintaining the control needed for slicing and precision utility work.

A 7" blade forged from 1095 carbon steel provides the strength and toughness required for demanding outdoor tasks. Known for its durability and ease of sharpening, 1095 remains a trusted steel for hard-use knives. The stonewash finish helps conceal wear and scratches while giving the blade a rugged, broken-in appearance suited for heavy field use. Its geometry is tuned for efficient chopping while still allowing controlled, effective slicing.

Full tang construction ensures maximum strength and stability throughout the knife, making it capable of handling tough cutting jobs without hesitation. The handle is crafted from Green Micarta, offering a grippy, textured surface that performs reliably in all weather conditions. Its natural outdoor look pairs well with the blade’s rugged finish, while the ergonomic shaping supports secure handling during extended use. A lanyard hole adds extra retention options when needed.

Measuring 12.25" overall and weighing 8.8 ounces, the Half/Chete carries far more comfortably than a full-sized machete while still delivering impressive cutting performance when it matters most. It’s built for efficient carry without giving up real-world capability.

A key part of the system is the included JRE sheath, constructed from reclaimed firehose with leather accents. The firehose material provides exceptional abrasion resistance and long-term durability, while the leather accents add structure, retention, and handcrafted detail. Each sheath features unique character from the reclaimed material, giving it a distinct, rugged identity. A belt loop and dangler attachment offer flexible carry options for comfort and mobility in the field.

Proudly made in Ohio, USA, the Half/Chete reflects practical design and hard-use performance built for real outdoor environments.
