SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bradford Guardian 3.5 Green & Black is a bold, high-performance fixed blade that’s built to tackle any challenge with precision and style. This American-made knife combines premium materials, rugged durability, and a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart from the rest. Featuring a 3.5-inch tanto blade crafted from Elmax powder steel, it delivers exceptional edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and the toughness needed for real-world use. The tanto design offers a reinforced tip for piercing and a straight edge for clean, controlled slicing. With its stonewash finish, the blade has a rugged, understated look that helps disguise wear and scratches from heavy use.
The Guardian 3.5’s full tang construction ensures rock-solid strength throughout its 7.25-inch overall length, while the .15-inch blade thickness provides the perfect balance of durability and cutting efficiency. Weighing only 6.3 ounces, it’s light enough for easy carry yet robust enough for demanding tasks in the field, at the campsite, or in your gear rotation. Whether you’re prepping firewood, processing food, or tackling utility chores, this knife is built to perform.
The 3D microtextured Toxic Green and Black G-10 handle makes a statement while delivering serious functionality. G-10 is a high-strength fiberglass laminate that’s impervious to moisture, temperature changes, and heavy wear, making it ideal for outdoor environments. Bradford’s 3D sculpting creates an ergonomic grip that conforms naturally to your hand, ensuring comfort and control during extended use. The microtexturing adds extra traction, so the knife stays securely in hand even in wet or slippery conditions. The striking toxic green and black layered pattern gives the handle a dynamic, high-visibility look that’s as practical as it is eye-catching. A lanyard hole at the base provides additional options for carry and retention.
Paired with an oiled brown leather sheath, the Guardian 3.5 Green & Black balances modern performance with traditional craftsmanship. The sheath offers secure retention and convenient belt carry while adding a touch of classic style to this contemporary knife.
Proudly made in the USA, the Bradford Guardian 3.5 reflects the brand’s commitment to creating knives that are as reliable as they are refined. Every detail, from the precision-ground Elmax blade to the sculpted G-10 handle, is crafted with care to ensure a tool that stands up to the rigors of everyday life and outdoor adventures alike.
