It is indeed the case that when a designer aims to create a heavy-duty product, they often adhere to the age-old principle: "Form Will Follow Function." However, Jason Breeden is more than just a designer; he is a solutionist! By his own definition, a "Solutionist" is a pragmatic artist who devises unique solutions to overcome challenges. Therefore, when Jason embarked on the task of engineering the Country Backroads Series, he was fulfilling a long-standing quest to utilize and integrate the gracefully functional leather-stacked handle style he has long admired. Bringing together naturally occurring materials like hickory and leather adds a personalized touch to a well-established construction technique, resulting in the creation of exquisite and practical tools suitable for a wide range of tasks.
