Bradford Guardian 3.5 Fixed Blade Knife Tanto 3D Olive

The Bradford Guardian 3.5 Fixed Blade Knife Tanto 3D Olive is a compact, high-performance tool built for users who demand durability, precision, and craftsmanship in a rugged package. Designed for everyday carry, outdoor use, and tactical applications, this knife combines premium materials, smart engineering, and a classic silhouette to deliver a reliable, hard-working fixed blade that feels as good in hand as it performs on task. Proudly made in the USA, it represents American knife-making at its finest.

At the heart of the Guardian 3.5 is a 3.5-inch tanto blade crafted from M390 stainless steel, a top-tier material known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. The tanto profile reinforces the tip for piercing and control, while the stonewash finish reduces glare and conceals wear from heavy use, giving the blade a rugged, working character. This combination ensures the knife remains sharp, resilient, and ready for anything, whether it’s slicing, cutting, or precision work.

Full tang construction provides unparalleled strength and balance, making the knife feel solid and secure in hand. Weighing just 4 ounces, it offers a light yet substantial feel that’s easy to carry without sacrificing confidence or control. The full tang also enhances durability, ensuring the Guardian 3.5 can withstand real-world tasks without compromise.

The handle features natural 3D Olive micarta, ergonomically contoured to fit comfortably in the hand and provide a secure grip even in wet or challenging conditions. Micarta is a durable, high-performance material prized for its resistance to wear, moisture, and temperature changes, while the 3D texturing ensures added traction and control during demanding cuts. A lanyard hole adds versatility, allowing for secure carry or attachment options in the field.

Measuring 7.25 inches overall, this knife strikes a balance between portability and capability. It includes a quality leather belt loop sheath for safe, convenient carry, complementing the knife’s rugged aesthetic with a touch of classic style. Every detail, from the precision grind to the finely finished handle, reflects Bradford’s commitment to quality and thoughtful design.
