This Guardian 3 model has a stonewashed N690 blade with a false edge grind and 3D black carbon fiber handle scales. The Guardian3 is a relatively compact fixed blade that is designed to handle the work load that might typically fall upon a heavy duty everyday folder. Bradford Knives uses AEB-L steel with a double temper and cryo treatment for exceptional blade characteristics. 3D carbon fiber scales offer a secure grip without being abrasive. Each knife includes a premium leather sheath with belt loop and plastic blade insert. Bradford Knives are made in the Pacific Northwest, and while relatively new to the knife making scene Bradford is well-versed in machining and has a passion for knives that comes though in his finished product.
