Bradford 3D Guardian 3 Fixed Knife 3.5in Plain Stonewash Drop Point BRAD3279

The Bradford 3D Guardian 3 Stonewash Black Micarta is a fixed blade knife built for performance, style, and everyday reliability. Designed with premium materials and a balanced size, it’s a blade that feels just as comfortable on the trail as it does on your belt in town. Bradford Knives has made a name for itself by combining precision craftsmanship with modern steel technology, and this knife is a shining example of that dedication.

At the heart of the Guardian 3 is a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. This advanced blade steel is engineered to offer exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, which means you’ll spend more time using your knife and less time maintaining it. The stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged, work-ready appearance while also helping to mask scratches from regular use. With a .14-inch blade thickness and a saber grind, the knife is strong enough for demanding cutting tasks yet refined enough to handle finer detail work when needed.

This model features a full tang construction, which adds strength and stability from the tip of the blade through the handle. The handle itself is made from black Micarta, a material long admired for its durability and natural grip, even when wet. Bradford’s 3D contoured design ensures that the handle sits comfortably in hand, reducing fatigue during extended use. A lanyard hole provides additional carry options and personalization for those who like to add paracord or other accessories.

Measuring 6.75 inches overall and weighing in at 3.96 ounces, the Guardian 3 strikes a near-perfect balance between portability and capability. It’s compact enough to carry daily without being cumbersome, yet large enough to handle the cutting jobs you encounter most. Whether you’re opening packages, prepping food, or tackling outdoor chores, this knife is always ready to step up.

To complete the package, the Guardian 3 comes with an oiled brown leather sheath. The sheath not only provides secure storage but also adds a touch of classic style to the knife. With its snug fit and natural finish, it complements the black Micarta handle beautifully, giving the entire setup a timeless look that never goes out of style.

Collectors and users alike will appreciate the quality and craftsmanship Bradford delivers with this model. It’s a versatile fixed blade that makes an excellent addition to any rotation, and it embodies the blend of utility and refinement that Bradford Knives is known for. Whether you’re new to fixed blades or adding another to your collection, this one stands out for its design and performance.
