Bradford Guardian 3 Fixed Blade DLC M390 Wharncliffe/OD Green Burlap Micarta with Kydex Sheath BRAD3440

The Bradford Guardian 3 is a compact fixed blade built for serious daily carry. With a 3.75" Bohler M390 stainless steel blade in a Wharncliffe profile, this knife delivers outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and precision slicing performance. The blade features a tough black DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating that shrugs off wear and adds a low-glare tactical finish. At just 7" overall and weighing 3.7oz, the Guardian 3 offers full-size capability in a lightweight, belt-friendly package.

The handle scales are crafted from olive drab green burlap Micarta—grippy, weather-resistant, and built to gain character with hard use. The ergonomic contours provide a secure, natural fit in the hand, and the extended tang construction includes a lanyard slot for extra retention or customization. This knife comes with a high-quality Kydex sheath that rides securely on your belt or pack, making it an ideal choice for EDC, camping, hiking, or field work.

Bradford Knives builds each blade in the USA with tight tolerances and hard-earned experience, combining modern materials with field-tested design. Whether you're looking for a dependable work knife or a premium outdoor companion, the Guardian 3 stands ready.
