Celebrating its 40thanniversary - its Ruby jubilee - the 2026 limited edition honours the original design by Erling Opstad. The Harding Rubin (rubin means “ruby” in Norwegian) brings bold updates.Ruby-coloured leather and sheath stitching mark the anniversary and add striking visibility. The handle has been redesigned with extra layers,enhancing complexity and visual appeal.A highlight is spalted beech from 1986, the year the first Harding was made.This fungus-altered wood forms unique patterns, stabilised and paired with newer, stabilised beech (Kebony) to create a balanced, intricate handle.The result respects the original while offering a fresh, visually rich interpretation, perfectly complementing the highly polished H3LS blade
