First, we have incorporated the ruby color into both the handle and the sheath, by adding red leather to the handle and red stitching on the sheath. This indicates that this is the 40th anniversary edition – and also gives the design new style and visibility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eSecondly, the handle pattern from the traditional Harding has been changed to include more layers, which adds more complexity and changes the knife's visual profile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThird, we delved into our material warehouse and found split beech from 1986 – the year the first Harding was made. Split wood is wood that has been infected with fungus. This fungus changes the structure of the wood, and also changes the color and skin tone in the process. This creates beautiful, patterned and multifaceted wood. We then stabilized it and cut it into two cross sections (x-cuts) that fit perfectly between pieces of newer, stabilized beech (Kebony).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe result is a Harding Rubin shaft that still carries and plays on the dark and bright tones of the original Harding, but in a markedly different way than the original.
