It is a pre-owned Guardian 3.5 from a long-time owner who used and carried it extensively. Prior to sale, the knife was sent in for a full spa service. The handle scales were replaced with new Jade G10, and a fresh leather sheath was installed. The blade and mechanism are original and fully functional. No original box is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew scales. Fresh sheath. M390 still bites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bradford Guardian 3.5 is a USA-made compact fixed blade built around one purpose: handling the workload of a heavy-duty folder without the bulk or the moving parts. This example carries a 3.75\" drop point blade in Bohler M390 steel, now wearing new Jade G10 scales and paired with a fresh leather sheath. M390 is one of the top-tier options in stainless fixed blade steel, delivering elite edge retention, corrosion resistance, and an easy maintenance profile. The sabre grind is Bradford's standard and gives the Guardian excellent slicing geometry without sacrificing tip strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJade G10 is a practical, moisture-proof handle material that gives the Guardian a distinctive, understated green character. The Guardian 3.5 sits at the sweet spot in the Bradford lineup, longer-gripped than the Guardian 3 and more carry-friendly than the Guardian 4. At 7.25\" overall it fits a front pocket, a pack pouch, or a horizontal belt carry without demanding much real estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote from Lone Star Knife \u0026amp; Supply: A Guardian 3.5 in M390 with fresh scales and a new sheath is a serious value in the Back Door. The original owner got the miles out of it. The next owner gets a knife that looks new and carries M390 steel. That is a strong combination at this price.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Guardian 3.5 Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.75\" M390 Drop Point Blade, top-tier edge retention and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Jade G10 Scales installed as part of Bradford spa service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Leather Sheath included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSabre Grind, excellent slicing geometry with a strong tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7.25\" Overall Length, the sweet spot in the Bradford Guardian lineup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Bradford Knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Guardian 3.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 3.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 7.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: Bohler M390\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Style: Drop Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Grind: Sabre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Jade G10 (new)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath: Leather (new)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Used, long-term owner.
