{"product_id":"veldhunter-african-rosewood","title":"VeldHunter","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe VeldHunter is a classic South African field knife built around simple proportions, a dependable carbon-steel blade and natural hardwood. It is made for the kind of work a hunting and outdoor knife actually sees: field dressing support, camp preparation, food work and the countless cutting jobs that come with time outdoors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAt the centre of the knife is a 120 mm blade made from 5160 high-carbon spring steel. The satin-finished blade has a traditional hunting profile with enough belly for controlled slicing, while the compact length keeps the knife easy to guide when accuracy matters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eFull-tang construction gives the VeldHunter a solid, uncomplicated foundation. The handle is generously shaped rather than overly sculpted, providing a comfortable working grip while allowing the natural character of the hardwood to speak for itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe VeldHunter is available in a selection of natural hardwood handle variants. Each variant shares the same blade, construction and working profile, while the timber gives every knife its own colour, grain and individual character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eChoose the handle variant that appeals to you. The knife remains unmistakably VeldHunter, but no two natural hardwood handles will ever look exactly the same.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThis is not a knife built around unnecessary features. The appeal is in the combination of carbon steel, natural hardwood and a proven field-knife shape. It feels familiar in the hand because the design follows an old principle: a good hunting knife should be strong, controllable and useful long after the novelty has worn off.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eA practical South African working knife for the veld, camp and hunting season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel: \u003c\/strong\u003eVeldHunter\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade steel: \u003c\/strong\u003e5160 high-carbon spring steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full tang\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural hardwood, variant dependent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCare and Protection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e5160 is a high-carbon, non-stainless steel.
