Bradford Guardian 3.5 Fixed Blade Knife Tanto 3D Natural Micarta BRAD2135

The Bradford Guardian 3.5 Fixed Blade Knife Tanto with 3D Natural Micarta is built for those who demand strength, precision, and reliability in a compact fixed blade. It’s designed to handle serious work without unnecessary bulk, making it a dependable choice for everyday carry, outdoor use, and demanding utility tasks. Every detail reflects Bradford’s reputation for thoughtful design and no-nonsense performance.

The 3.5-inch tanto blade is crafted from premium M390 stainless steel, a steel known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This makes it an excellent option for users who expect their blade to stay sharp and perform consistently over time. The tanto profile offers a reinforced tip and strong cutting edges, excelling at piercing, controlled slicing, and tougher utility work. A stonewash finish reduces glare and helps hide wear, giving the blade a rugged, broken-in look that only improves with use.

Full tang construction ensures strength from tip to pommel, providing excellent balance and confidence in hand. Despite its robust build, the Guardian 3.5 remains lightweight at just 4 ounces, allowing for comfortable all-day carry without sacrificing durability. The knife feels nimble during precise cuts while still offering the backbone needed for more demanding tasks.

The handle is made from 3D-contoured natural micarta, a material trusted for its durability, grip, and performance in all conditions. Micarta maintains traction when wet or dirty, and the 3D shaping fills the hand naturally, reducing fatigue during extended use. The natural color gives the knife a clean, classic appearance that pairs well with the stonewashed blade while still projecting a hard-use, professional character. A lanyard hole adds extra security and carry versatility when needed.

With an overall length of 7.25 inches, the Guardian 3.5 strikes a near-perfect balance between compact size and usable cutting length. It includes a high-quality leather belt loop sheath that provides secure retention and comfortable carry, whether you’re on the trail, at work, or moving through your daily routine.

Proudly made in the USA, this knife stands as a clear example of American craftsmanship and quality. From materials to manufacturing, the Bradford Guardian 3.5 is built with purpose and precision, delivering a fixed blade you can rely on for years to come.
