The Bradford Guardian3.2 Limited Edition takes a proven everyday-carry fixed blade and gives it a distinctive collector-worthy finish. Built on more than a decade of experience in fields, warehouses, shops, kitchens, and daily EDC use, the Guardian3.2 is the second-generation evolution of Bradford’s trusted Guardian3 platform. This Limited Edition combines practical working performance with a striking 3D Charcoal Libertywood handle and blue PVD-finished CPM-MagnaCut blade.
Designed around customer feedback, the Guardian3.2 adds a pronounced choil to the original Guardian3 design, providing increased finger protection and a more controlled grip. The updated geometry also adds a touch of length while changing the grip placement and balance, creating a confident feel in hand without sacrificing the compact profile that makes the Guardian such an effective EDC fixed blade.
The 3.5-inch CPM-MagnaCut blade features a practical 3-inch cutting edge and is hardened to 62-63 Rc. Known for its combination of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut gives this compact fixed blade the performance to handle the everyday jobs that matter. The blue PVD finish adds a bold visual contrast and gives the blade a refined, hard-working appearance that sets this Limited Edition apart.
Adding even more character is the 3D Charcoal Libertywood handle. The distinctive material brings a unique look to every knife while the three-dimensional texture provides a secure, controlled grip. Paired with the blue PVD blade, the charcoal handle creates a sophisticated color combination that looks just as at home in a collection as it does on the belt.
With a 3.25-inch handle and 7.125-inch overall length, the Guardian3.2 remains compact enough for convenient everyday carry while offering enough substance for comfortable use. The .14-inch blade thickness provides a solid balance of durability and cutting efficiency, while the proven 3-inch cutting edge is well suited for opening packages, breaking down cardboard, cutting material, and handling general tasks around the home, shop, warehouse, or field.
A horizontal leather sheath provides a practical carry solution, keeping this compact fixed blade conveniently positioned on your belt and ready when needed. Built to last through years of everyday use, the Guardian3.2 is more than a compact fixed blade, it’s a dependable working tool with the added appeal of a Limited Edition build.
