SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bradford Guardian 4 Fixed Blade Knife False Edge 3D G-Wood is a purpose-built tool for those who demand strength, precision, and reliability in a full-size fixed blade. Designed to handle demanding outdoor tasks, tactical applications, and everyday heavy-duty use, this knife delivers uncompromising performance in a rugged, American-made package. Every component reflects Bradford’s commitment to quality materials, thoughtful design, and meticulous craftsmanship.
At the heart of the Guardian 4 is a 4.62-inch drop point blade made from CPM 3V tool steel, renowned for its outstanding toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention. The false edge on the spine enhances piercing capability while maintaining the versatility of the drop point profile for slicing, chopping, and general utility. A stonewash finish reduces glare, hides scratches, and gives the blade a durable, lived-in appearance that improves with use. CPM 3V ensures this blade will hold up under hard use, making it an ideal choice for hunters, outdoorsmen, and tactical operators alike.
Full tang construction provides unmatched strength and balance, creating a knife that feels solid and confidence-inspiring in hand. At 6.3 ounces, the Guardian 4 is substantial enough to inspire confidence yet light enough to carry comfortably. Every detail of the construction emphasizes durability, from the steel’s thickness and precision grind to the secure attachment of the handle scales with a lanyard hole for added versatility.
The handle features contoured 3D G-Wood, a dense, attractive wood that delivers a warm, natural feel while offering excellent durability and grip. The 3D texturing enhances traction, making the knife easy to control in wet or slippery conditions, while the ergonomic shape reduces fatigue during extended use. The natural grain and color of G-Wood give the knife a refined, traditional aesthetic without compromising its rugged performance.
Measuring 9.3 inches overall, the Guardian 4 balances reach and carry ability. It includes a high-quality leather belt loop sheath that secures the knife while complementing its premium materials and rugged styling. Proudly made in the USA, the Bradford Guardian 4 embodies American craftsmanship, durability, and thoughtful design. It’s a knife built to perform when the task is serious and failure isn’t an option.
