The Bradford Guardian 3.2 3D OD Green Micarta Stonewash Elmax Drop Point is the kind of knife that blends form, function, and rugged dependability in one sleek package. Designed with everyday use in mind and built from premium materials, this American-made fixed blade is ready for work, ready for the outdoors, and always ready to perform.
Its 3.5-inch drop point blade is made from Elmax powder steel, a top-tier choice for anyone who demands excellent edge retention, high wear resistance, and superb corrosion resistance. Whether you're using it on the job, around camp, or for everyday cutting tasks, Elmax holds its edge longer than traditional stainless steels and shrugs off the elements with ease. It’s one of those steels that you’ll appreciate more and more the longer you use it.
The drop point design is a timeless favorite for good reason—it offers a strong, controllable tip, a long cutting edge, and reliable slicing power. The full flat grind gives you a balance of strength and slicing performance, while the stonewash finish adds a rugged aesthetic and hides wear from heavy use. It’s the kind of blade that begs to be put to work and will look even better after it’s earned a few stories.
Sized at 7.12 inches overall, the Guardian 3.2 offers a touch more length and grip than the original Guardian 3, giving it a more confident presence in hand without becoming bulky. The .14-inch thick blade provides stoutness and durability, while maintaining a sleek enough profile for comfortable carry. The full tang construction means this knife is built to last—solid from tip to pommel and ready to handle years of reliable service.
The 3D contoured handle scales are crafted from OD green Micarta, a material known for its durability and excellent grip. It provides a natural feel that gets even grippier when wet, making it ideal for real-world field conditions. The ergonomic sculpting fits your hand comfortably and offers a secure grip for precision work or extended use. The olive drab tone gives it a subtle tactical edge that still feels right at home on the trail or at the workshop.
A thoughtfully placed lanyard hole gives you more carry and customization options, and the knife comes with a beautifully crafted oiled brown leather sheath. The sheath’s design is simple, functional, and timeless—just like the blade it carries. It holds the knife snugly, provides smooth deployment, and adds a classic finishing touch that pairs perfectly with the Micarta and stonewash steel.
Proudly made in the USA, the Bradford Guardian 3.2 is built for users who value premium craftsmanship and purpose-driven design. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the steel and edge geometry to the handle contouring and leather carry system.
