Bradford Limited Guardian 3.5 Natural 3.5in Plain Stonewash Drop Point BRAD3318

The Bradford Limited Guardian 3.5 Natural blends classic design with high-performance materials to create a fixed blade knife that’s built to serve for years to come. Proudly made in the USA, this versatile tool is ideal for those who want a dependable blade that’s as functional as it is beautifully crafted. From everyday use to outdoor adventures, the Guardian 3.5 is engineered to handle real-world tasks with ease—and look great doing it.

At the heart of this knife is a 3.5” drop point blade made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, one of the most advanced steels available today. Known for its elite balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut is perfectly suited for a knife that sees daily action. Whether you’re slicing rope, prepping food, or handling light bushcraft work, this blade is up to the challenge. The stonewash finish helps mask wear while adding a rugged, low-glare aesthetic. Thumb jimping along the spine gives you added grip and control, especially during detailed cutting tasks or when applying pressure.

This fixed knife features a full tang construction for unbeatable strength and reliability. It’s designed for those who value performance and craftsmanship in equal measure. The natural Micarta handle offers a warm, organic feel in the hand, with just the right amount of texture for a secure grip in all conditions. Whether you’re working with bare hands, gloves, or wet gear, this handle won’t let you down. Micarta ages gracefully, developing a character all its own as you use it—adding a personal touch to every carry.

The Guardian 3.5 Natural measures 7.25” overall with a blade thickness of .15", offering a balanced profile that’s compact yet capable. It’s light enough to carry comfortably but substantial enough to tackle heavier tasks when needed. The hardware is tumbled for a tough, worn-in look, and the integrated lanyard hole makes it easy to customize your carry setup or secure your blade for quick access.

Included with the knife is a handcrafted oiled brown leather sheath, designed for secure and comfortable belt carry. It hugs the blade perfectly, keeping it ready without bulk. The rich tone of the leather adds to the natural aesthetic of the Micarta handle, creating a timeless look that appeals to both modern users and traditionalists alike.
