A distinctly American take on an English classic, this diminutive Prince from Ryan Alden charmingly downsizes the proportions while retaining the essence of its forebears. Bearing blasted ring-grain so wild that one could be excused for mistaking the medium for the notoriously gnarly strawberry wood, it's been stained a subdued and dusky red that's a perfect compliment to the Cumberland stem — both of which are contrasted by a bright sterling mount at the shank.
