CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for those who demand a compact fixed blade that doesn't compromise on performance, the Bradford Guardian3 is a rugged companion for everyday carry or outdoor excursions. It features a 3.5" drop point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel—renowned for its edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black DLC coating adds an extra layer of durability while reducing glare and friction. A false edge enhances its piercing ability without sacrificing strength at the tip.
This full tang knife is outfitted with 3D-sculpted Forest Green G-Wood handle scales, offering a secure, comfortable grip with natural texture and visual appeal. The custom hardware adds a refined touch and ensures rock-solid handle stability, even in challenging conditions. At just 6.75" overall and weighing under 4 ounces, the Guardian3 packs serious cutting power into a lightweight, belt-friendly profile.
It comes with a premium brown leather sheath, complete with a belt loop for secure horizontal or vertical carry. Whether you're processing game, tackling camp chores, or need a reliable blade for daily tasks, the Guardian3 is designed to punch above its weight class. And like all Bradford knives, it's proudly made in the USA by craftsmen who take pride in quality that lasts.
