CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for serious performance in a compact fixed blade, the Bradford 3D G3 Wharnie delivers exceptional strength, control, and everyday versatility. Modeled after the widely respected Guardian 3 platform, this knife takes proven ergonomics and refines them with a purpose-driven Wharncliffe profile that excels at precise, controlled cuts. Whether you're breaking down boxes, tackling camp chores, or handling detailed utility work, this blade is engineered to perform when accuracy matters most.
The 3.25" Wharncliffe blade is crafted from MagnaCut stainless tool steel, a premium alloy known for outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Finished in a rugged stonewash, the blade shrugs off wear while maintaining a clean, work-ready appearance that hides scratches from hard use. Its straight cutting edge keeps consistent contact with the surface, allowing for smooth, predictable slicing and making it especially effective for push cuts and detailed tasks.
Comfort and control define the knife’s 3D-contoured handle. The olive drab green burlap Micarta scales provide a secure grip with just the right amount of texture, remaining dependable in wet or dry conditions. The sculpted shape fills the hand naturally, reducing fatigue during extended use while offering the confidence needed for demanding jobs.
At 6.87" overall, the G3 Wharnie strikes an ideal balance between portability and capability. It’s compact enough for daily carry yet substantial enough to handle real work without compromise. A durable taco-style Kydex sheath with clip keeps the knife protected and ready, offering reliable retention and fast access wherever your day takes you.
