The Bradford Guardian 3.5 UltraLite Black is a high-performance fixed blade designed for users who want maximum capability with minimal weight. Proudly made in the USA, it combines premium materials, precision craftsmanship, and a streamlined design to deliver a dependable tool that's ready for outdoor adventures, everyday utility, and demanding situations.
Its 3.5-inch drop point blade is crafted from Böhler M390 stainless steel, a premium steel known for exceptional edge retention, outstanding corrosion resistance, and impressive wear performance. The versatile drop point profile provides excellent control for slicing, piercing, and detailed cutting tasks, while the rugged stonewash finish adds a low-glare appearance and helps conceal scratches from hard use.
Built with full tang construction, the Guardian 3.5 UltraLite offers reliable strength in an incredibly lightweight package. Measuring 7.25 inches overall with a .15-inch blade thickness and weighing just 2.9 ounces, it delivers serious fixed blade performance without unnecessary weight. It's easy to carry all day while remaining capable enough for camp chores, field work, and everyday cutting needs.
The black peel ply G-10 handle keeps the design slim, durable, and highly functional. Known for its resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and heavy abuse, G-10 provides a dependable foundation for a hard-use knife. The textured peel ply surface creates excellent traction, even in wet or gloved conditions, while the minimalist profile maintains comfort and control. A lanyard hole adds versatility for customization or added security.
A black Kydex sheath completes the package with lightweight durability and secure retention. Designed for low-profile carry, it keeps the UltraLite protected and ready for quick access on a belt, pack, or gear setup.
