The Bradford Guardian 3 is a compact fixed-blade built for dependable everyday performance, combining a rugged full-tang construction with premium materials and practical proportions. Proudly made in the USA, it’s designed to handle everything from camp chores and outdoor tasks to everyday cutting duties with confidence.
Its 3" drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel and finished with a rugged stonewash treatment. MagnaCut is renowned for its outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for a hard-use knife that’s expected to perform in demanding environments. The versatile drop point profile provides plenty of usable edge while maintaining a strong, practical tip.
The full-tang construction gives the Guardian 3 a solid foundation, while its Forest Green 3D-textured G-Wood handle scales provide a distinctive combination of durability and natural character. G-Wood is a high-performance hybrid composite created by layering thin sheets of processed or stabilized natural wood with high-pressure fiberglass and epoxy resin. The result is a tough, resilient handle material with the look of wood and the performance required for serious knife use.
Measuring 6.75" overall and weighing just 3.96 ounces, the Guardian 3 offers substantial capability without unnecessary bulk. A leather sheath is included for secure, convenient carry and protects the knife when it’s stowed between uses.
Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the world’s best online knife store, is a Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store, drawing over 1.5 million visitors each year to its legendary showroom and unmatched selection.
