GUARDIAN3 3D G-Wood G10, Guardian3, M390, Wharncliffe Grind, Nimbus Finish w/ Kydex BRAD2021

The Bradford Knives Guardian3 is a compact fixed blade that delivers powerhouse performance in a sleek, everyday-carry package. Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects the kind of craftsmanship and material quality serious users demand. Whether you’re in the field, on the job, or just need a blade that won’t quit, the Guardian3 with a Wharncliffe grind is purpose-built to handle the task.

At the core is a 3.625-inch M390 stainless steel blade—a high-performance steel known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. The Wharncliffe grind provides a straight cutting edge and fine tip, perfect for controlled slicing, utility work, and detail tasks. Finished in Bradford’s signature Nimbus stonewash, the blade offers a rugged black finish that hides wear and looks as hard as it cuts.

Built with full tang construction, the Guardian3 doesn’t compromise on strength. The 3D contoured handle is made from G-Wood G10—a unique blend of microtextured synthetic and natural wood grain aesthetics. It offers the feel of traditional material with the durability of modern composites. The contoured shaping fills the hand for a secure grip while remaining compact enough for belt or neck carry.

Weighing just under 4 ounces and measuring 6.875 inches overall, this knife rides comfortably without sacrificing cutting power. The included black Kydex sheath locks the blade securely and can be mounted in a variety of carry positions, making it a versatile companion for EDC, hiking, or tactical use.

Bradford Knives builds every Guardian3 in the USA, and it shows—from the premium blade steel and grind geometry to the rock-solid handle and thoughtful sheath system. It’s a no-frills working knife with the materials and build to back it up, trusted by users who know the value of American-made tools.
