Bradford Knives Guardian5 3D OD Micarta Sabre Grind Stonewash 3V

Brand new Guardian5 fixed blade from Bradford Knives with NEW 3D contoured OD Green Canvas Micarta and Sabre ground premium CPM-3V blade steel. The 5 is great for really getting into hard-use cutting, chopping batoning etc. It's a step up from the 4 for larger cutting tasks while remaining a size that won't take up too much room in your pack.

The Blade: This is a full tang construction using hardcore CPM-3V tool steel at 0.200 inches thick. Right on five inches in cutting edge here with a nice, strong sabre grind. Razor sharp right out of the box with a worn-in stonewashed finish. Modified spear point profile is handy for slicing and piercing. Jimping on the thumb rest and forward choil add a nice grip.

The Handle: Thick, 3D machined canvas micarta handle scales are a pleasure to grip and fill the palm nicely. They are secured to the tang via 416 stainless custom fasteners heat treated to 40 Rc and dark tumbled.

A black MOLLE Nylon sheath with front storage pocket is included with your Guardian5. It's slim, lightweight, durable and an easy carry for belt/leg/pack attachment. The Guardian5 from Bradford will fill the need for a quality USA built hard-use fixed blade and then some. 

We've found 3V to be tougher than O1 and 5160 steels and easier to sharpen than D2 and S30V
