Bradford Guardian3.5 Sheepsfoot Nimbus M390 3D G-Wood Fixed Blade

The Guardian3.5 fixed blade from Bradford Knives hits the sweet spot in size with a larger handle and blade than the popular Guardian3 while still being compact for daily carry and use. A great companion or replacement for an EDC folder, the G3.5 has an integral guard and strategic jimping for safe use, while the neutral handle design is comfortable in multiple grip positions. This Sheepsfoot variant has a stonewashed black DLC ‘Nimbus’ finished M390 blade and 3D microtextured G-Wood scales.

Brand new, direct from Bradford Knives.

Blade: Flat ground M390 comes in a robust Sheepsfoot profile with full flat grind for optimal slicing performance and durability. Spine jimping and an integral guard deliver security and control in use while Bradford’s tumbled DLC Nimbus finish hides wear and is discreetly non-reflective in use.

Handle: Thick, 3D contoured G-Wood handle scales are comfortable, durable, and micro textured for traction. G-Wood is a stabilized wood/G10 laminate that offers the best of both worlds and plenty of style. The versatile ovalized design has a natural feel and is comfortable in multiple grips. Heat treated 416 stainless custom fasteners attach the scales securely to the full tang.

Carries via a horizontal leather belt sheath.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 (analog to CPM-20CV and CTS-204P) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high level edge retention and corrosion resistance. A popular choice for high-end production and custom knives, M390 is relatively easy to sharpen, with toughness on par with 440C/154CM.
