Bradford Guardian 3 Fixed Blade Nimbus M390 Wharncliffe/Natural Burlap Micarta BRAD3439

Ready for serious field use, the Bradford Guardian 3 Fixed Blade blends refined materials with hard-wearing construction. This compact, American-made fixed blade features a 3.75" Bohler M390 stainless steel Wharncliffe blade, precision ground and finished in Bradford's signature Nimbus finish—a rugged, distressed look that shrugs off wear while delivering premium edge retention and corrosion resistance. Built for versatility, the Guardian 3 is a favorite for EDC, hiking, hunting, and backcountry tasks. The extended tang is drilled with a lanyard slot for added retention and quick access.

The handle scales are natural burlap Micarta—grippy when wet, tough in the elements, and shaped in a 3D contoured profile for a secure, hand-filling grip. Light in the hand at just 3.7oz and measuring only 7" overall, this knife rides comfortably in the included molded Kydex sheath. Whether you're outfitting a go-bag or your belt for a long day in the woods, the Guardian 3 is up to the task.
