Woods Monkey Half/Chete Fixed Blade Knife Tan Cerakote/Green Micarta HALFCHETE1

The Woods Monkey Half/Chete Fixed Blade Knife in Tan Cerakote and Green Micarta is built for users who want serious outdoor cutting power without the bulk of a full-sized machete. Designed for versatility, it bridges the gap between heavy chopping tool and controlled utility blade, making it a dependable companion for clearing brush, campsite tasks, and backcountry work.

A 7" blade forged from 1095 carbon steel provides the strength and toughness needed for demanding use. 1095 is a proven outdoor steel, valued for its easy sharpening and dependable performance in the field. The Tan Cerakote finish enhances corrosion resistance while reducing glare and adding a rugged, work-ready look. Its geometry is designed to deliver strong chopping capability while still offering controlled slicing performance for more precise cutting tasks.

Full tang construction runs the length of the knife, reinforcing strength and stability under hard use. The handle is crafted from Green Micarta, providing a secure, textured grip that performs well in wet, dry, or gloved conditions. Its ergonomic shaping supports extended use, while a lanyard hole adds retention options for added security in the field.

Measuring 12.25" overall and weighing 8.8 ounces, the Half/Chete carries far more efficiently than a traditional machete while still delivering impressive cutting performance when it matters most. It’s built to be carried comfortably without sacrificing capability.

A key part of the system is the included JRE sheath, constructed from reclaimed firehose with leather accents. The firehose material delivers exceptional abrasion resistance and long-term durability, while the leather elements add structure, retention, and a traditional handcrafted touch. Each sheath has unique character due to the reclaimed material, giving it a distinct, rugged appearance. A belt loop and dangler attachment provide multiple carry options for comfort and mobility in the field.

Proudly made in Ohio, USA, the Half/Chete reflects practical design, modern materials, and hard-use functionality.
