Bradford Guardian3.2 Fixed Blade Knife Sabre Grind Stonewash Magnacut/Olive Drab Green Micarta BRAD2993

The Bradford Guardian3.2 Fixed Blade is built for those who want a compact everyday carry knife that delivers dependable cutting power with refined ergonomics and American-made craftsmanship. As the second generation of Bradford’s trusted Guardian design, the 3.2 incorporates thoughtful improvements that enhance both control and safety while preserving the discreet carry profile that made the original Guardian3 a standout in the EDC world.

At the center of the knife is a 3.5” drop point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel and finished with a rugged stonewash. MagnaCut has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most well-balanced blade steels available, offering exceptional edge retention, outstanding corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a work-ready appearance while helping hide the marks that come with regular use. This version features a sabre grind, leaving additional thickness along the spine for increased durability while still allowing the blade to slice efficiently through everyday materials. The drop point profile offers a versatile cutting shape suited for precise detail work, general utility, and outdoor tasks.

Based on customer feedback, the Guardian3.2 incorporates a forward choil that improves both grip security and finger protection. This design change allows users to choke up on the blade for enhanced control during precision cuts while subtly shifting the balance point for a more confident feel in hand. The result is improved ergonomics without sacrificing the compact, easily concealed footprint that made the Guardian3 so popular for everyday carry.

The handle is fitted with rugged Olive Drab Green Micarta scales over an extended tang construction. Micarta is widely respected for its durability and dependable grip, offering excellent traction even in wet or demanding conditions. The olive drab color gives the knife a classic field-ready appearance while the ergonomic shaping ensures a comfortable hold during extended use. A lanyard hole at the base of the tang adds another carry and retention option.

Measuring 7.125” overall and weighing just 3.8 ounces, the Guardian3.2 provides impressive capability in a compact fixed blade that’s easy to carry all day. A premium brown leather sheath is included, offering secure belt carry with a traditional look that pairs perfectly with the knife’s rugged design.
