The Bradford Guardian 3 delivers compact fixed-blade performance with a rugged, purpose-built design and premium materials. Proudly made in the USA, this version pairs a 3.5" Wharncliffe blade with a distinctive 3D-textured Olive Drab Green Burlap Micarta handle and a practical Kydex sheath.
The 3.5" Wharncliffe blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel and finished with a rugged stonewash treatment. Its straight cutting edge and controlled tip make the Wharncliffe profile exceptionally useful for precision cutting, slicing, and detailed utility work. MagnaCut brings an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, giving this compact blade the durability to handle demanding everyday and outdoor tasks.
A full-tang construction provides a solid foundation, while the 3D-textured Olive Drab Green Burlap Micarta handle delivers a secure grip and distinctive character. Burlap Micarta is known for its rugged durability and comfortable feel, while the aggressive 3D texture enhances control during extended use. The Olive Drab Green color gives the Guardian 3 a classic field-ready appearance that complements its stonewashed blade.
Measuring 6.75" overall and weighing just 3.96 ounces, the Guardian 3 packs serious capability into a lightweight, easy-to-carry format. The included Kydex sheath provides secure retention and durable protection while making the knife convenient to carry in the field, around camp, or as part of an everyday gear setup.
With its premium MagnaCut steel, full-tang construction, textured Micarta handle, and rugged Kydex sheath, this Guardian 3 is built for users who appreciate practical performance without unnecessary bulk.
