SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bradford Guardian 3.2 3D Ghost is a compact fixed blade designed for those who demand exceptional performance in a sleek and lightweight package. Proudly made in the USA, this knife delivers premium materials, thoughtful ergonomics, and a versatile design that’s ready for anything. At its core is a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a state-of-the-art powder metallurgy steel prized for its high hardness, superb edge retention, and excellent corrosion resistance. MagnaCut’s toughness and wear resistance make it ideal for a knife built to handle daily use with confidence. The drop point profile offers outstanding utility for slicing, piercing, and precision tasks, while Bradford’s Nimbus finish gives the blade a dark, weathered appearance that resists visible wear and enhances its understated aesthetic.
The Guardian 3.2 is built with full tang construction to ensure maximum strength and balance throughout its slim profile. Measuring 7.12 inches overall and weighing only 3.8 ounces, it’s incredibly light in hand while maintaining the robust performance you expect from a fixed blade. The .14-inch blade thickness strikes the perfect balance between slicing efficiency and durability, making this knife ideal for outdoor tasks, utility cutting, and everything in between.
The 3D microtextured Ghost G-10 handle elevates the Guardian 3.2 with both function and style. G-10 is a fiberglass-based laminate renowned for its toughness, moisture resistance, and ability to withstand extreme conditions. Bradford’s 3D sculpting creates an ergonomic, contoured grip that fits naturally in your hand, while the microtexturing offers secure traction even in wet or gloved conditions. The Ghost coloration—a subtle light green hue—adds a modern and distinctive touch, ensuring your knife stands out without being overly flashy. A lanyard hole at the base of the handle provides options for adding a retention cord or personalizing your carry.
Completing the package is an oiled brown leather sheath that pairs traditional craftsmanship with practical carry. Designed for secure belt attachment, the sheath keeps your Guardian 3.2 within easy reach while offering the timeless appeal of high-quality leather. The natural finish of the sheath complements the muted tones of the Nimbus blade and Ghost handle, making this setup as handsome as it is functional.
Proudly made in the USA, the Bradford Guardian 3.2 3D Ghost reflects a commitment to quality and detail that sets it apart. Every element, from the advanced MagnaCut steel to the sculpted handle and premium leather sheath, is built to meet the needs of those who rely on their tools every day.
