Bradford Guardian 3.5 M390 Saber/3D Natural Micarta BRAD1732

Built for serious everyday carry and hard use, the Bradford Guardian 3.5 with a saber blade delivers controlled cutting power in a compact, confidence-inspiring package. It’s designed for users who want premium materials, clean lines, and real-world performance without excess.

The 3.5-inch saber blade is crafted from Bohler M390 stainless steel, a top-tier steel known for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The saber grind provides a strong spine with excellent slicing ability, giving the blade a balanced feel that excels at both precision work and heavier tasks. A Black DLC coating enhances durability, reduces glare, and adds a hard-wearing finish that stands up to daily use.

Full tang construction runs the length of the knife, delivering strength you can rely on when the work gets demanding. The proportions are dialed in for control, making the Guardian 3.5 easy to maneuver while still feeling solid in the hand. This is a fixed blade that feels purposeful the moment you pick it up.

The 3D-textured natural Micarta handles elevate both grip and comfort. The textured surface enhances traction in wet or dirty conditions, while Micarta’s proven durability ensures long-term performance in the field. The natural color gives the knife a classic, understated look that fits just as well on the trail as it does on the job.

A black leather sheath with a rigid insert supports secure horizontal front carry, keeping the knife accessible and protected throughout the day. It’s a practical setup for everyday wear without unnecessary bulk.
