Bradford Guardian3.2 Fixed Blade Knife Sabre Grind Stonewash M390/Olive Drab Green Micarta BRAD2990

The Bradford Guardian3.2 Fixed Blade is built for those who demand dependable performance from a compact everyday carry knife. Designed as the second generation of Bradford’s trusted Guardian platform, this refined model incorporates thoughtful updates that improve control and safety while maintaining the discreet carry profile that made the original Guardian3 a favorite among knife users.

The 3.5” drop point blade is crafted from premium M390 stainless steel and finished with a rugged stonewash. Known for its outstanding edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability, M390 is a high-performance steel trusted by enthusiasts and professionals alike. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued, work-ready appearance while helping conceal signs of wear from regular use. This version features a sabre grind that leaves additional thickness along the spine for increased strength while still allowing the blade to slice efficiently through everyday materials. The drop point profile provides a versatile cutting shape that handles precision work, utility tasks, and outdoor use with confidence.

Based on customer feedback, the Guardian3.2 incorporates a forward choil that enhances both safety and control. This design improvement offers added finger protection while allowing users to choke up on the blade for more precise cutting. The adjustment also shifts the grip slightly forward, improving balance and handling without sacrificing the compact footprint that makes the Guardian3 easy to conceal and comfortable to carry throughout the day.

The handle features rugged Olive Drab Green Micarta scales over an extended tang construction. Micarta is widely valued for its durability, moisture resistance, and secure grip in a variety of conditions. The olive drab color gives the knife a classic field-ready appearance while the ergonomic shaping ensures a comfortable, confident hold during extended use. A lanyard hole at the base of the tang provides an additional carry and retention option when needed.

Measuring 7.125” overall and weighing just 3.8 ounces, the Guardian3.2 offers impressive cutting capability in a compact fixed blade that carries easily day after day. A premium brown leather sheath is included, providing secure belt carry with a timeless look that complements the knife’s rugged build.
