Bradford Limited Guardian 3.5 Blue - Black 3.5in Plain Stonewash Drop Point BRAD3320

The Bradford Limited Guardian 3.5 Blue & Black is a fixed blade knife that’s built to outperform and designed to impress. With its bold Micarta handle and elite blade steel, this American-made knife strikes the perfect balance between everyday utility and rugged sophistication. It’s the kind of tool you’ll want on your hip whether you’re in the woods, on the job, or simply taking on daily tasks that demand precision and strength.

At its core is a 3.5” drop point blade made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel—an ultra-modern alloy praised for its outstanding combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Whether you’re slicing through rope, food prep in the field, or doing fine work on wood or synthetic materials, this blade is ready. It holds an edge for the long haul and shrugs off the elements with ease. The stonewash finish adds a refined, low-glare look while also doing a great job hiding signs of use, making it ideal for both hard work and everyday carry.

The blade features thumb jimping on the spine to give you improved control and a secure grip when precision matters most. Full tang construction gives this fixed knife the durability and strength you want in a tool you can rely on. It feels solid in hand and is up to any task without compromise.

What really sets the Guardian 3.5 Blue & Black apart is its handle. The layered Micarta combines deep blue and black tones in a pattern that’s bold without being loud. It’s a great visual contrast to the stonewashed blade and tumbled hardware, and it offers superb ergonomics with a slightly textured surface that gets grippier with moisture. It’s durable, comfortable, and built for performance in all weather conditions. Over time, Micarta takes on character, becoming more personal with every use.

Weighing just the right amount and measuring 7.25” overall with a .15” blade thickness, this knife is built to be nimble yet tough. The lanyard hole at the base of the handle gives you options for carry or customization, and it’s perfect for those who like quick access or want to add a personal touch.

Each Guardian 3.5 Blue & Black includes a handcrafted oiled brown leather sheath, designed for secure and stylish belt carry. The sheath hugs the knife securely, keeping it at your side and ready at a moment’s notice. The oiled leather adds a classic touch to this otherwise modern blade and is built to last alongside it for years to come.
