VeldScout

The VeldScout is built around the idea of the small, dependable field knife carried close at hand when travelling, working or exploring the South African veld.

Compact enough to carry comfortably, yet capable enough to earn its place on the belt, the VeldScout is made for the countless smaller cutting jobs that form part of life outdoors. Its 96 mm blade gives excellent control for camp tasks, food preparation, light hunting support and general utility work without the bulk of a larger field knife.

The blade is made from AEB-L stainless steel, a practical choice for a knife intended to be carried and used regularly. It offers very good corrosion resistance and takes a fine, keen edge, making it well suited to both outdoor use and food preparation.

The handle is fitted with red and black textured G10 composite scales. The layered colour gives the knife a distinctive identity, while the textured surface provides a secure, dependable grip in a material that is highly resistant to moisture and changing outdoor conditions.

Its clean profile, full-tang construction and balanced proportions keep the VeldScout practical rather than oversized. It is the kind of knife that can disappear on the belt until it is needed, then handle the small jobs that make a good field knife worth carrying.

Practical, understated and deeply at home in the bush, the VeldScout is a modern working companion shaped by an old tradition of self-reliance.

Character

The VeldScout is the compact member of the Veld family.

Where the VeldRanger brings more blade and presence for larger field tasks, the VeldScout focuses on easy carry, quick control and everyday usefulness. The 96 mm blade keeps it nimble in the hand, while the red and black textured G10 gives the knife a bold but still practical finish.

It is a knife intended to be carried often and used without ceremony.

Care

AEB-L is stainless steel and offers very good corrosion resistance for normal outdoor and food-related use. Wipe or wash the blade clean after use and dry it before storage.

The G10 handle requires very little maintenance and can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent when necessary.

A light application of SharpWax can be used on the blade and exposed metal surfaces for additional storage protection.
