The Bradford Guardian 3 3D Microtextured G-Wood CPM MagnaCut Black Sheepsfoot is a compact fixed blade with big attitude and bold performance. Designed for real-world use and built with premium materials, this American-made knife delivers cutting-edge steel, thoughtful ergonomics, and rugged good looks in one carry-ready package.
At the heart of this blade is a 3.62-inch sheepsfoot profile crafted from CPM MagnaCut—a high-performance stainless steel that’s quickly become a favorite among knife makers and users alike. Known for its superb balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut holds a sharp edge longer than many traditional steels, resists rust even in damp or humid conditions, and stands up to demanding use without chipping or breaking. It’s a steel made for users who push their gear to the limit.
This blade comes with a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish that adds a sleek, tactical look while boosting scratch resistance and cutting down on reflection. The sheepsfoot design gives you a straight edge and a blunt tip, making it ideal for slicing, push cuts, and precise control. Whether you're cutting cordage, tackling detailed work, or handling utility tasks, the blade’s geometry and steel combo ensure you’ll get the job done with confidence.
Measuring 7 inches overall and weighing just 3.42 ounces, the Guardian 3 is light and compact enough for daily carry, yet stout enough to perform in the field. The full tang construction provides solid durability from tip to pommel, and the .14-inch thick blade offers dependable strength without unnecessary bulk. It’s an incredibly balanced knife that feels secure and responsive in the hand.
The 3D microtextured G-Wood handle adds a distinct aesthetic and a premium grip. G-Wood combines the beauty of stabilized wood grain with the resilience of modern composites, giving you a handle that looks rich and natural while offering excellent durability and moisture resistance. The microtextured surface and ergonomic sculpting ensure a comfortable, confident hold whether you’re working in the rain or wearing gloves.
A lanyard hole at the base of the handle offers easy attachment options and enhances the knife’s carry versatility. It’s paired with a custom-fit oiled black leather sheath that not only looks sharp but also performs flawlessly. The sheath holds the knife securely, allows for smooth deployment, and complements the blade’s blacked-out finish with a sleek, professional style.
Proudly made in the USA, the Guardian 3 reflects Bradford Knives’ commitment to quality, innovation, and functional design. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered—from the advanced steel and finish to the textured grip and premium leather carry.
