Bradford Limited Guardian 3.5 OD Green 3.5in Plain Stonewash Drop Point BRAD3317

The Bradford Limited Guardian 3.5 OD Green is a fixed blade that brings together cutting-edge materials and time-honored craftsmanship in a compact, no-nonsense package. Designed and proudly made in the USA, this knife is built to be a daily workhorse that performs just as well in the field as it does on the workbench. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a craftsman, or someone who simply appreciates well-made tools, the Guardian 3.5 is a blade that rises to the occasion every time.

At its core is a 3.5” drop point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel—arguably one of the most advanced blade steels available today. It delivers an exceptional combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it perfect for a knife you’ll depend on day in and day out. The stonewash finish not only adds a rugged, low-reflection look, but also helps mask signs of wear and tear over time. A row of thumb jimping along the spine provides additional grip and control when you're bearing down on the blade, giving you the confidence to handle detailed or heavy-duty tasks with ease.

The Guardian 3.5 is built with a full tang construction, ensuring maximum strength and durability. Its olive drab Micarta handle scales are shaped for comfort and reliability, providing a secure grip in any condition—wet, dry, gloved, or bare-handed. The natural texture of Micarta gets better with use, developing a rich patina that tells the story of your adventures. Tumbled hardware adds a rugged, no-frills aesthetic, and a lanyard hole at the base of the handle allows for easy customization or quick access carry.

Weighing in at just the right size, the Guardian 3.5 measures 7.25” overall with a .15” blade thickness, making it a well-balanced tool that’s easy to carry without sacrificing capability. It’s nimble enough for precision work but stout enough to handle demanding tasks like carving, slicing, and light chopping. Whether you're processing wood at camp, prepping food on the trail, or tackling projects around the house, this knife delivers with dependable performance and sleek, understated style.

Every Guardian 3.5 comes with a high-quality oiled brown leather sheath, crafted for durability and comfort. The sheath rides close to the body for easy, discreet carry and provides a snug, secure fit for your blade. Its rich finish complements the rugged build of the knife and adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship to this modern tool.
