CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for the rigors of daily carry yet refined enough for a curated collection, the Bradford Guardian3.5 in Magnacut and Richlite delivers serious performance with unmistakable style. It features a 3.5" drop point blade made from CPM Magnacut stainless tool steel with a Nimbus finish—a weathered, stonewashed treatment that gives the blade a battle-worn look while hiding wear from real-world use. The sabre grind ensures a strong edge with excellent slicing ability, striking a balance between toughness and sharpness.
The full tang construction is paired with 3D-contoured Richlite handles in a bold Chocolate and Red combination, offering a warm, organic feel in hand with reliable grip and durability. The layered material is naturally moisture resistant and eco-friendly, making it as functional as it is striking. Custom hardware adds a subtle finishing touch to the handle build. At 7.75" overall and weighing just 6oz, this fixed blade hits a practical size for belt or pack carry.
Each Guardian3.5 includes a premium brown leather sheath with a belt loop for secure and accessible carry. Like all Bradford knives, it’s proudly made in the USA with exceptional attention to detail and premium materials worthy of hard use or display.
This knife is available at Smoky Mountain Knife Works—America’s largest knife store and a true Tennessee landmark. Nestled in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, SMKW welcomes over 1.5 million visitors a year to explore its legendary showroom and shop the best selection of knives in the world.
