SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bradford Guardian 4 Fixed Blade Knife False Edge 3D Natural Micarta is built for those who demand serious performance from a full-size fixed blade. Designed to handle tough tasks in the field, on the job, or in any outdoor environment, this knife combines premium materials, precise engineering, and rugged construction to deliver a tool that works as hard as you do. Proudly made in the USA, it embodies American craftsmanship, attention to detail, and practical functionality.
At the heart of the Guardian 4 is a 4.62-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM 3V tool steel, a premium choice renowned for exceptional toughness, edge retention, and wear resistance. The blade’s false edge enhances piercing ability while maintaining the versatility and strength of the drop point profile. A stonewash finish adds durability, reduces glare, and helps conceal marks from heavy use, giving the knife a rugged, battle-ready look that performs as well as it appears.
Full tang construction ensures maximum strength, balance, and control. Weighing 6.3 ounces, the Guardian 4 feels substantial yet manageable, providing the confidence needed for precision cuts or heavier-duty work. This construction method also contributes to long-term durability, allowing the knife to withstand demanding use without compromise.
The handle is crafted from 3D natural micarta, providing an ergonomic grip that fits comfortably in the hand for extended use. Micarta is a durable material known for its resistance to moisture, wear, and temperature extremes, while the 3D contouring ensures a secure grip even in wet or challenging conditions. A lanyard hole adds versatility for carry or attachment options in the field, enhancing the knife’s practicality.
Measuring 9.3 inches overall, this full-size knife is ideal for users who want a capable, heavy-duty tool without excess bulk. It comes with a high-quality leather belt loop sheath for safe, convenient carry, complementing the knife’s rugged yet refined aesthetic. Every detail—from the precise grind to the finished handle—reflects Bradford’s commitment to quality and performance-driven design.
