Details
The Bradford Guardian3 is a compact, American made, everyday carry fixed blade that makes a perfect belt-carry companion for daily urban or outdoor use. Built to replace the modern EDC folding knife, the Guardian3 has a compact size that is easy to carry while still providing plenty of edge for your cutting needs. This Limited Edition Wharncliffe version comes with stonewashed M390 blade and 3D Chocolate/Red Richlite handle scales.
Brand new, direct from Bradford Knives, USA.
Blade: Made from +3.5 mm thick Bohler M390 stainless steel the robust Wharncliffe delivers over three inches of straight, razor sharp cutting edge and a precise tip allowing for excellent control in fine work and solid slicing performance to handle a variety of tasks. Added control is provided thanks to a pronounced index finger choil and spine jimping. The blade is delivered in a rugged stonewashed finish that hides wear from use while retaining an appealing look.
Handle: Thick, 3D contoured Chocolate brown and red Richlite scales are supported by the full tang construction and are easily removable for cleaning and maintenance. The scales are comfortable and ergonomic while offering a secure grip. Richlite is a recycled paper and phenolic resin composite similar to Micarta that offers the durability and weather resistance of a modern composite with the rich, organic feel of a natural material. Utilizing the forward finger choil allows for a four finger grip with a more compact handle design. The scales are secured to the tang via tumble finished and heat treated (40 Rc) 416 stainless custom fasteners while a hole at the pommel allows for lanyard attachment.
Carries via a 'taco' style molded Kydex sheath with multiple eyelets.
Bohler M390: A popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its exceptional edge retention, M390 has a good corrosion resistance for minimal maintenance. Another great feature of this steel is the ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
