Whether you're heading into the backcountry, gearing up for a job in the field, or simply looking for a dependable everyday tool, this knife delivers outstanding performance with a rugged, tactical style.

At the core of the Guardian 4.5 is a 4-inch drop point blade made from CPM-3V tool steel, a tough, high-performance steel known for its outstanding wear resistance and durability. This steel is purpose-built to handle repeated hard use without chipping or rolling, making it a favorite among serious outdoorsmen and professionals alike. The blade’s stonewash finish adds a touch of rugged elegance while reducing glare and helping hide signs of wear from daily use.

The full tang construction offers maximum strength from tip to pommel. This is a knife you can count on in demanding conditions, whether you’re batoning wood, processing game, or tackling everyday cutting tasks. With a blade thickness of .17 inches and an overall length of 9.2 inches, the Guardian 4.5 gives you plenty of cutting power while maintaining excellent control.

The olive drab Micarta handle is contoured for a secure, comfortable grip—even in wet or cold conditions. Micarta is a proven, field-ready material that provides excellent texture without sacrificing comfort. Its earthy OD green tone gives the knife a tactical, understated look that blends beautifully with outdoor gear. The handle is fitted with a lanyard hole for added utility and carry options, letting you attach paracord or hang the knife from your pack with ease.

Weighing in at 6.3 ounces, the Guardian 4.5 strikes the perfect balance between heft and agility. It feels solid in the hand without being cumbersome, and it’s light enough for extended carry on the trail or at work. To make carry even easier, Bradford includes a high-quality leather sheath with a belt clip, so you can keep the knife close and ready for action. The sheath’s clean, classic design matches the Guardian’s rugged aesthetic, and it’s built to last as long as the knife it holds.

Every detail of this knife reflects the craftsmanship and pride that comes with American manufacturing. From the grind lines to the handle fit and finish, the Guardian 4.5 shows off Bradford’s commitment to quality and performance in every piece they produce.
