Bradford Knives Guardian 3.5 G-Wood 3.5in Plain Stonewash Drop Point BRAD3438

The Bradford Guardian 3.5 G-Wood is a compact fixed blade designed for serious performance with a refined touch of craftsmanship. Proudly made in the USA, this knife brings together cutting-edge steel, a beautifully sculpted handle, and classic leather carry for a versatile tool that’s as dependable as it is striking. At its core is a 3.5-inch drop point blade made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, one of the most advanced knife steels available today. Known for its impressive combination of high hardness, excellent corrosion resistance, and outstanding edge retention, MagnaCut offers unmatched all-around performance for users who demand the best. Finished with a rugged stonewash, the blade has a timeless, utilitarian look that resists visible wear from hard use.

The Guardian 3.5’s full tang construction ensures exceptional strength and balance, while the .15-inch blade thickness provides durability without sacrificing cutting efficiency. At 7.25 inches overall and weighing just 6 ounces, this knife is light enough for all-day carry yet robust enough for camp chores, food prep, or utility work. The drop point blade design offers versatility for slicing, piercing, and detailed cutting tasks, making it a reliable choice for everyday use and outdoor adventures alike.

One of the most distinctive features of this model is its 3D microtextured G-Wood handle. G-Wood is Bradford’s innovative hybrid material that fuses the durability and moisture resistance of G-10 fiberglass laminate with the warm, natural aesthetics of stabilized wood. This combination results in a handle that feels organic and visually stunning while performing like a synthetic under challenging conditions. Bradford’s 3D sculpting and microtexturing create an ergonomic, contoured grip that fits naturally in your hand, providing security and comfort during extended use. The handle’s subtle grain and texture make each knife unique, giving it the character of a classic wood-handled blade with the modern resilience of advanced materials. A lanyard hole at the base of the handle adds options for personalization and secure carry.

Paired with the Guardian 3.5 G-Wood is a G3 oiled and distressed leather sheath that complements the knife’s classic-meets-modern design. The sheath offers secure retention and convenient belt carry while adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship to this high-performance tool.

As with every Bradford knife, the Guardian 3.5 G-Wood reflects the brand’s dedication to precision and quality. From the advanced MagnaCut blade steel to the sculpted, functional beauty of the G-Wood handle, this knife is built to exceed expectations and perform reliably in any setting.
