SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bradford Guardian 3 is a compact fixed blade that pairs American-made craftsmanship with bold, patriotic style. Built for everyday carry and reliable field performance, it delivers precision, strength, and confidence in a rugged, easy-to-handle package.
Its 3" drop point blade is forged from CPM-Magnacut, a modern stainless tool steel renowned for its exceptional hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance. A Sheepsfoot grind enhances cutting control and safety, giving the blade a straight, strong edge that excels at slicing and utility tasks without a pointed tip.
The handle is made from 3D-contoured red, white, and blue G-10, offering a secure grip and ergonomic comfort while showcasing unmistakable patriotic character. Stainless steel hardware fastens the scales to a full tang, and the extended tang with lanyard slot adds versatility for carry and field use. Measuring 6.75" overall and weighing 3.96oz, the Guardian 3 is compact enough for everyday carry yet durable enough for demanding tasks.
A premium leather sheath with belt loop completes the package, providing secure, comfortable carry wherever you go. With advanced steel, American-made construction, and bold styling, the Guardian 3 is built to perform while showing patriotic pride.
