The Bradford Guardian 3.5 is a compact fixed blade that combines premium materials, expert craftsmanship, and refined styling into a dependable tool built for real-world use. Proudly made in the USA, it delivers the strength and precision expected from Bradford while maintaining a lightweight, easy-to-carry design that's ready for outdoor adventures, everyday tasks, and everything in between.
Its 3.5-inch sheepsfoot blade is crafted from Böhler M390 stainless steel, a premium powder steel renowned for exceptional edge retention, impressive corrosion resistance, and outstanding wear performance. The sheepsfoot profile provides a controlled cutting edge with a rounded tip, making it ideal for precise slicing, utility work, and detailed tasks. A rugged stonewash finish enhances the blade’s hardworking appearance while helping hide scratches from regular use.
Full tang construction and a .15-inch blade thickness provide excellent strength and reliability, while the 7.25-inch overall length and lightweight 3.8-ounce design offer impressive portability and control. The Guardian 3.5 delivers capable fixed blade performance without unnecessary bulk.
The 3D microtextured forest green G-Wood handle gives this knife a distinctive combination of durability and natural beauty. Blending the toughness of G-10 with the warmth and character of stabilized wood, G-Wood provides a secure, comfortable grip that stands up to demanding conditions. Bradford’s sculpted ergonomic design fits naturally in the hand, while the microtextured surface enhances traction in wet or dry environments. A lanyard hole adds convenient customization and carry options.
An oiled brown leather sheath completes the package with classic craftsmanship, secure retention, and comfortable belt carry.
