The Bradford Guardian 3 Fixed Blade Knife is a compact everyday companion built for serious performance when reliability matters most. Sized for comfortable belt carry and engineered for demanding cutting tasks, it delivers the strength, precision, and craftsmanship that have made Bradford a trusted name among outdoorsmen, professionals, and everyday carry enthusiasts alike.
Its 3.5-inch sabre ground blade is crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel, offering an outstanding combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating adds another layer of durability while reducing glare and creating a sleek, tactical appearance that stands up to hard use. The sabre grind leaves more steel behind the edge for added strength, making the Guardian 3 equally capable of detailed utility work, camp chores, and demanding everyday cutting tasks.
The 3D Microtextured Rosewood Libertywood handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip with the rich appearance of natural hardwood and the durability expected from a modern composite material. Its sculpted contours lock comfortably into the hand, giving you excellent control without creating hot spots during extended use. At just 6.75 inches overall and weighing only 3.96 ounces, this fixed blade carries easily while remaining substantial enough for confident performance. A premium leather sheath is included, keeping the knife protected and ready for quick access wherever your day leads.
Proudly made in the USA, the Guardian 3 showcases Bradford's commitment to premium materials, practical design, and uncompromising American craftsmanship.
