Description: Bradford Knives are made in the Pacific Northwest in Renton, Washington. His background working in an aerospace machine shop is clearly evident in these high-performance knives.
The Bradford Guardian 3 series are small, easy to wear fixed blades that could easily replace or compliment a folding knife. With a 3.5 inch blade, these knives can tackle simple food preparation, outdoors tasks, or fulfill hunting and skinning requirements. They are also small enough to be easily concealed for a self-defense tool. Bradford knives are known for exceptional heat treatment on their blades and ruggedness that will have their knives passed down for generations.
The 3.5 inch blade is CPM-MagnaCut with a false edge grind. Bradford's CPM-MagnaCutHH marking designates that this knife is hardened to 63-64 Hrc instead of the standard 60-61 Hrc. CPM-MagnaCut is a premium stainless steel created by Crucible with the help of professional metallurgist Dr. Larrin Thomas. MagnaCut combines the high toughness of CPM-4V with the corrosion resistance of CPM-20CV. This creates a perfect blade steel option for knives that need high toughness and great edge retention while still being easy to maintain, making MagnaCut a great candidate for both folding knives and hard use fixed blades. The “nimbus” finish (DLC coating that has been tumbled) will help hide scratches that may be added from use.
The 3D machined natural burlap Micarta handle scales are set on a full tang. Micarta provides a durable, slip-resistant grip. A hole through the tang 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 leather sheath with belt loop and plastic blade insert, meant to be worn horizontal-style.
Made in the Pacific Northwest in Renton, Washington.
