SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bradford Limited Guardian 3.5 Camo is a fixed blade knife that blends rugged reliability with a sharp tactical edge. Proudly made in the USA, this knife is designed for serious users who need a dependable tool they can trust—whether they’re deep in the backcountry, working on the job, or just tackling everyday tasks. With premium materials and American craftsmanship behind it, the Guardian 3.5 Camo is as practical as it is eye-catching.
At the center of this knife is a 3.5” drop point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel—one of the most advanced steels on the market today. Known for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and excellent toughness, MagnaCut delivers the kind of performance you need when there's no room for compromise. Whether you’re carving, slicing, or making precise cuts, this blade stays sharp and reliable. The stonewash finish not only looks great with its subdued, work-ready aesthetic, but also helps hide scratches and wear as you put the knife through its paces. Thumb jimping along the spine provides additional grip and control, giving you the confidence to handle any job that comes your way.
This fixed blade features a full tang construction, which ensures strength from tip to tail. It’s built to withstand hard use without fail. The camouflage Micarta handle adds both function and flair. It offers a natural, grippy texture that holds strong in wet or dry conditions, gloved or bare-handed. The camo pattern brings a distinctive tactical look while still keeping things understated and classic. Over time, the Micarta will take on a patina that reflects your experience with the knife, giving it a personal touch that only gets better with age.
The Guardian 3.5 Camo is 7.25” in overall length and features a .15” blade thickness, striking the perfect balance between compact carry and capable cutting power. It feels solid in the hand without being bulky, and it’s nimble enough for precision work while still holding up to demanding use. Tumbled hardware adds a rugged, utilitarian finish, while a lanyard hole at the base of the handle offers versatility for carry options or added security.
This knife comes with a premium oiled brown leather sheath that’s as durable as it is handsome. Designed for belt carry, the sheath provides a snug and secure fit while keeping the blade easily accessible. The leather's rich finish and robust build make it a perfect match for the tough, ready-for-anything attitude of the Guardian 3.5.
