Bradford Guardian 3.5 Fixed blade Knife Sabre Grind OD BRAD1735

The Bradford Guardian 3.5 OD Stonewash Sabre is built for users who want a fixed blade that blends everyday practicality with serious performance. It’s compact enough for daily carry yet tough enough to handle demanding work, making it a reliable choice whether you’re in the field, on the job, or off the grid. This knife reflects Bradford’s focus on purposeful design, premium materials, and dependable American craftsmanship.

At its core is a 3.5-inch drop point blade made from Bohler M390 stainless steel. Renowned for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, M390 is a steel you can trust when conditions aren’t ideal. The sabre grind adds strength along the spine while maintaining excellent cutting efficiency, giving the blade a balanced feel that performs well across a wide range of tasks. A stonewash finish reduces glare and helps conceal wear, so the knife keeps its rugged look even after hard use.

Full tang construction provides strength and stability from tip to handle, ensuring the Guardian 3.5 feels solid and confidence-inspiring in hand. With a blade thickness of .15 inches, this version leans into durability without becoming bulky or awkward. Steel double rivets secure the handle scales tightly, and a lashing hole at the rear allows for added retention or alternative carry setups when you need extra security.

The olive drab green micarta handle is built for real-world use. Micarta is known for its durability and grip, especially when wet or dirty, and the contoured shape fits naturally in the hand. The OD green color gives the knife a low-profile, utilitarian appearance that suits outdoor, tactical, and work-focused environments while still looking clean and professional.

Measuring 7.25 inches overall and weighing just 4.17 ounces, the Guardian 3.5 carries comfortably without weighing you down. It’s easy to wear on the belt, stash in a pack, or keep close at hand as a dependable daily tool. The compact profile and thoughtful balance make it easy to control during precision cuts and extended use.

Proudly made in the USA, this knife stands as a clear example of American manufacturing done right. From material selection to final fit and finish, the Bradford Guardian 3.5 OD Stonewash Sabre is built with care, integrity, and purpose. It’s a fixed blade you can rely on, designed to work hard and last for years.
