Description: Bradford Knives are made in the Pacific Northwest. His background working in an aerospace machine shop is clearly evident in these high performance knives.
Based on customer feedback, the 2nd Generation of the G3 design has been upgraded with a choil. This also adds a bit of length and changes the grip placement and balance. The Bradford Guardian 3.2 is an ideal everyday carry knife for those looking for a bit more finger protection but similar concealment as the Guardian 3.
This exceptional Guardian 3.2 features a Super Gold II (SG2) powdered metallurgical (PM) steel combined with the beauty of linear damascus. A high performing Takefu SG2 PM stainless steel core is surrounded by thin layers of stainless damascus steel. The resulting cutting edge is tempered to Rc 62 - 64 (very hard!) for exceptional edge holding, but is easy to sharpen due to the small grain structure. The incredibly small crystalline size of this PM steel results in superior edge holding when compared to nearly any other stainless steel used in the knife industry. This blade features a full height flat grind.
Handle scales are G-wood, a stylish laminate made from thin sheets of stabilized wood alternating with layers of G10. When machined in a contour they produce a beautiful, durable, natural pattern that is extremely appealing and unique. The contoured grip features a micro-texture to offer a secure grip without being abrasive. A hole at the end of the handle makes it easy to add a lanyard. The scales can be removed for detailed cleaning or if new scales are desired.
Each knife includes a premium pouch style leather sheath with belt loop and plastic blade insert.
