Bradford Guardian 3 T/E knife (pre-owned)

Description

This is a Bradford Guardian 3 that was a T/E knife I used around the office and carried in my pocket some.  This was my first Bradford prior to becoming a dealer for their knives.  These are great little knives to just drop sheath and all in your front pocket.  They use premium M390 steel and hold an edge.  This one has been carried and seen light cutting of paper, cardboard etc.  I do not believe I ever had to sharpen it.  These retail for $179 new from Bradford Knives, let this one go for $120.00

The Guardian3 is a relatively compact fixed blade that is designed for EDC and can replace a heavy duty everyday folder.  The knife comes in a leather sheath with a hard insert designed to be carried horizontal on the belt.  It also works great to just drop the sheath into your front pocket.

Bradford Knives uses Bohler M390 steel with a double temper and cryo treatment for exceptional blade characteristics. 3D micarta scales offer a comfortable grip without being abrasive. Each knife includes a premium leather sheath with belt loop and plastic blade insert.

This Guardian3 model has a false edge style blade with a stonewashed  finish and 3D black micarta handle scales.

Bradford Knives are made in the Pacific Northwest, and while relatively new to the knife making scene Bradford is well-versed in machining and has a passion for knives that comes though in his finished product.
