Combining advanced materials with precision craftsmanship, it's equally at home on the trail, at the campsite, or handling demanding everyday tasks. Every detail is engineered to provide lasting reliability and confident control whenever your knife is called into action.
Its 3.5-inch drop point blade is crafted from premium M390 stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional edge retention, outstanding wear resistance, and impressive corrosion resistance. Finished with Bradford's distinctive Nimbus finish, the blade offers a rugged, subdued appearance that helps conceal the marks of hard use while adding another level of visual refinement. The versatile drop point profile and full flat grind deliver excellent slicing performance, precise tip control, and the strength needed for a wide variety of cutting applications.
Full tang construction provides outstanding durability and balanced handling, ensuring dependable performance through years of hard use. Measuring 7.12 inches overall with a .14-inch blade thickness and weighing just 3.8 ounces, the Guardian 3.2 is substantial enough for serious work while remaining comfortable for all-day carry.
The 3D-microtextured carbon fiber handle delivers an exceptional blend of lightweight strength and modern styling. The sculpted scales fit naturally in the hand, while the textured surface provides a confident grip in wet or dry conditions. Carbon fiber's excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to the elements make it an outstanding choice for a hard-use field knife. A lanyard hole adds another practical carry option for quick retrieval.
An oiled brown leather sheath completes the package with classic craftsmanship and dependable protection, securing the knife while providing comfortable belt carry and fast access whenever it's needed.
