High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bradford Knives Guardian3 3D in Chocolate/Brown Richlite is built for those who demand uncompromising performance in a compact, everyday fixed blade. At just 6.75" overall and weighing a nimble 3.96 ounces, the Guardian3 is a stout, dependable tool that’s easy to carry and ready for serious work. Whether you're in the backcountry, on the jobsite, or handling daily cutting tasks, this knife strikes the perfect balance of size, control, and cutting power.
At the heart of the Guardian3 is a 3.5" CPM-MagnaCut sheepsfoot blade, precision ground for strength and slicing efficiency. MagnaCut is known for its exceptional edge retention, high toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance, making it a top-tier choice for real-world use in any environment. The Nimbus finish adds a stonewashed, battle-worn look that wears hard and hides scratches, giving the blade a rugged, work-ready aesthetic from day one.
The sheepsfoot grind provides a robust, straight cutting edge with a dropped point that minimizes accidental punctures—ideal for detailed tasks and utility work where control is everything. It’s a no-nonsense design that puts the blade’s cutting potential front and center without compromise.
Full tang construction ensures rock-solid durability, while the ergonomically sculpted 3D Richlite handle scales provide a secure, comfortable grip. Richlite, made from resin-infused paper, offers a warm, natural texture and excellent resistance to moisture, wear, and temperature changes. The chocolate brown color pairs perfectly with the Nimbus blade, giving the knife a low-key, understated profile that still stands out in hand.
With its compact size, exceptional steel, and premium materials, the Guardian3 3D Chocolate/Brown Richlite is a purpose-built companion that thrives in real-world use and won't back down when the work gets tough.
