The Bradford 3D Guardian 3 with Orange G-10 handle and stonewash blade is a knife that combines exceptional craftsmanship, premium materials, and a bold splash of color. Built to perform as reliably as it looks striking, this fixed blade offers both practical functionality and an undeniable visual presence. The 3.5-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a cutting-edge steel praised for its outstanding toughness, wear resistance, and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. With a stonewash finish, the blade doesn’t just resist visible scratches and wear; it also delivers a rugged, timeless appearance that suits the Guardian’s hardworking nature.
At 6.75 inches overall with a .14-inch blade thickness, this knife strikes the ideal balance between compact carry and cutting capability. Its full tang design ensures strength runs through the entire frame, giving you absolute confidence in its durability no matter the task. Weighing just 3.96 ounces, it’s impressively lightweight while maintaining the robustness you need in a dependable fixed blade. That combination of strength, lightness, and precision makes it a go-to tool for outdoorsmen, craftspeople, and anyone who values reliability in their daily gear.
The handle is where this Guardian 3 truly stands out. Crafted from 3D microtextured orange G-10, it delivers more than just durability and comfort—it brings personality to your blade. The textured surface provides a sure grip, ensuring control even in challenging conditions, while the vibrant orange color makes it easy to spot whether it’s in your pack, on your workbench, or clipped to your gear. G-10 is renowned for its resistance to moisture, heat, and wear, so you can count on it to last just as long as the blade it supports. With its ergonomic contouring and bold tone, the handle ensures this knife is as enjoyable to use as it is to admire.
Practicality extends beyond the knife itself. This Guardian 3 comes with an oiled brown leather sheath, thoughtfully crafted to provide secure carry while complementing the knife’s refined style. The rich leather not only protects your blade but also develops character over time, telling the story of every adventure. The sheath’s traditional look blends seamlessly with the Guardian’s modern performance, making it a perfect pairing of old-world craftsmanship and innovative materials. A lanyard hole on the knife adds another layer of versatility, giving you options for carry and customization.
