The **Bradford Guardian 3** is a practical fixed knife, perfect for small outdoor tasks. In addition, it is perfect as an EDC knife or while hiking. It might not be incredibly big, but it has a relatively long blade. As such you can use the compact Bradford Guardian 3 for more things than you might initially think.

 The blade is made from Böhler M390 steel. This is an Austrian type of super steel. One of the best high-end choices at the moment. M390 excels when it comes to sharpness retention and corrosion resistance. The handle is made from micarta. A composite material from linen and synthetic resin.

 This Bradford Guardian 3 comes in a leather sheath. It is enhanced with a belt loop to make sure you can carry it horizontally on your belt.

Geweldige robuuste compacte vaststaande EDC. De bouw kwaliteit en afwerking is zeer degelijk en het lemmet komt vlijmscherp uit de doos. Voelt goed in de hand met voldoende grip, het holster is ook mooi compact.

Bin begeistert. Tolle Form, liegt sehr gut in der Hand, trotz der geringen Größe und optisch einfach klasse!

Tiens vraiment bien la coupe depuis plusieurs mois et super manche très confortable

Das Bradford Guardian 3 ist für mich das perfekte EDC Messser.
Trotz seiner kompakten Größe liegt esperfekt in meiner Pranke (Handschuhgröße 11-12), das liegt vor allem auch am 3D konturiertem Micarta Griff.
Das Messer ist sehr scharf bei mir angekommen und sieht mit seinem "Nimbus" (used Look) und dem schwarzen Micarta super aus!
Die M390 Klinge hat schon einiges schneiden und schnitzen dürfen und ist immer noch sehr scharf.
Die Lederscheide ist besser als sie aussieht!
Das wird nich mein letztes Bradford Messer bleiben!

General information

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.
