SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bradford Guardian 3.5 Sabre 3D G-Wood is built for those who expect more from a fixed blade than just good looks. It’s a compact, hard-working knife designed to handle real tasks while maintaining the refined fit and finish Bradford Knives is known for. From everyday carry to demanding field use, this knife delivers dependable performance in a size that’s easy to live with.
At the heart of the Guardian 3.5 is a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from Bohler M390 stainless steel. This premium steel is widely respected for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness, making it an excellent choice for users who want a blade that stays sharp and holds up under pressure. The sabre grind provides a strong, versatile cutting profile with added spine thickness for durability, while the stonewash finish reduces glare and helps hide the marks that come with honest use.
Full tang construction gives this knife the strength and balance serious users demand. With a blade thickness of .12 inches, it strikes a smart balance between slicing efficiency and structural integrity. Steel rivets secure the handle scales solidly in place, and a lanyard hole at the rear adds an extra layer of security and carry flexibility when you’re working in rough conditions.
The handle features 3D-textured G-Wood, offering a warm, natural appearance with modern performance. The contoured shape fits the hand naturally, improving control and reducing fatigue during extended cutting sessions. The textured surface provides a confident grip, even when conditions aren’t ideal, while the wood’s rich tone adds a refined edge to this rugged tool.
Measuring 7.25 inches overall and weighing 6.3 ounces, the Guardian 3.5 feels substantial without being cumbersome. It carries comfortably on the belt thanks to the included brown leather sheath, which features a secure belt loop and a classic look that complements the knife’s premium materials.
Proudly made in the USA, this knife represents American craftsmanship at its best. Every Guardian 3.5 reflects Bradford’s commitment to quality materials, precise manufacturing, and practical design. It’s a fixed blade you can trust, built to work hard, age well, and stand up to whatever the day throws at it.
