Guardian 3.5
The Bradford Guardian 3.5 is the most configurable knife in Bradford Knives' Guardian fixed blade line. It carries more cutting edge and grip than the Guardian 3, and it is the only Guardian offered with a Tanto blade and in the larger XL build.
Guardian 3.5 Steel Options From AEB-L to MagnaCut
AEB-L runs the value-priced Guardian 3.5 XL, a forgiving stainless that comes back to a keen edge quickly for buyers who want the bigger platform without a premium steel cost. M390 and Cru-Wear sit in the middle for hard-use edge holding and tool steel toughness. CPM MagnaCut tops the line, and the MagnaCut High Hardness builds push the heat treat hotter for the longest edge life before a touch-up.
Tanto, Saber, and Sheepsfoot Blade Shapes
The Tanto is exclusive to the 3.5 in this lineup. Its reinforced angular point punches through dense material and resists tip breakage under pressure. Saber builds cover broad field and utility cutting, while sheepsfoot builds hold a low, controlled point for precise, safe close work.
Micarta, G-10, and Carbon Fiber Handles
3D and flat Canvas Micarta in Black, Natural, Green, Camo, and OD Green give warm, grippy traction that wears in over time. G-Wood and Carbon Fiber run lighter and slimmer. G-10 takes abuse and comes in colorways from Ghost Green to Tigerstripe to Red, White, and Blue. Blade finishes include stonewashed, Nimbus, and Black DLC.
