It is true that when a designer’s goal for a product is to be heavy-duty, then as the old saying goes: “Form Will, Follow Function.” Jason Breeden is not just a designer though… he is a “Solutionist”. By his own definition, a “Solutionist” is a utilitarian artist that creates unique answers to obstacles. So, when Jason set out to engineer the Country Backroads Series, he was fulfilling a long-time quest to use and incorporate the gracefully functional leather-stacked handle type he has long admired. Pairing together naturally occurring materials, Hickory and Leather, gives a custom touch to a tried-and-true construction technique delivering beautiful and useful tools for a variety of tasks.
