The Bradford Guardian 3 combines compact proportions with rugged construction and premium materials, creating a fixed blade that’s ready for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, and demanding utility work. Proudly made in the USA, this version pairs a stonewashed MagnaMax drop point blade with a 3D-textured OD Green Richlite handle and a traditional leather sheath.
Its 3.5" drop point blade is crafted from MagnaMax steel and finished with a rugged stonewash treatment. The versatile drop point profile provides a strong, practical tip along with plenty of usable cutting edge, making it well suited to a wide range of cutting chores. The stonewash finish gives the blade a subdued, hard-use appearance while helping conceal the marks that naturally come with regular use.
The full-tang construction is paired with a 3D-textured OD Green Richlite handle. Richlite is a durable composite material known for its strength, stability, and resistance to moisture, while the pronounced texture enhances grip and handling. Its OD Green color gives the knife a classic field-ready appearance that complements the rugged stonewashed blade.
Measuring 6.75" overall and weighing just 3.96 ounces, the Guardian 3 offers an impressive balance of capability and portability. The included leather sheath provides secure storage and convenient carry, adding a traditional touch to an otherwise modern, hard-use package.
From the premium MagnaMax blade to the textured Richlite handle and full-tang construction, every component is designed to deliver dependable performance without unnecessary bulk. It’s a compact fixed blade with the rugged character and practical versatility Bradford is known for.
