The Bradford Guardian 3.2 builds on a proven fixed blade design with premium materials, refined ergonomics, and the dependable performance serious knife users expect. Proudly made in the USA, it's designed to excel whether you're on the trail, around camp, at work, or tackling everyday cutting tasks. Compact enough for comfortable carry yet capable enough for demanding use, the Guardian 3.2 is always ready when you need it.
Its 3.5-inch drop point blade is crafted from premium Elmax powder steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, impressive wear resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance. The versatile drop point profile handles slicing, piercing, and detailed cutting with ease, while the full flat grind provides smooth, efficient cutting performance across a wide range of materials. A rugged stonewash finish helps conceal scratches and signs of use, giving the blade a hardworking appearance that only improves with time.
Full tang construction provides outstanding strength and balance, ensuring confidence through every cut. Measuring 7.12 inches overall with a .14-inch blade thickness and weighing just 3.8 ounces, the Guardian 3.2 offers an ideal combination of lightweight carry and capable performance without unnecessary bulk.
The 3D contoured black Micarta handle delivers a secure, ergonomic grip that remains comfortable during extended use. Micarta's natural texture provides dependable traction in wet or dry conditions while resisting moisture and the elements. A lanyard hole adds extra versatility for carry and quick retrieval in the field.
An oiled brown leather sheath completes the package with classic American craftsmanship, securely protecting the blade while offering convenient belt carry and fast access whenever the job demands a reliable fixed blade.
