Thanks a lot.
Not a big fixed blade guy either, but I love the guardian series. The sheepsfoot is my favorite. I agree on the leather, I like it a lot, but prefer the retention of kydex. Have a great day!
Great video. Love my Gaurdian 3. I got the GPKnives exclusive in Rex45 with jade g10 for $110. I almost got the M390 version but couldn't pass on the Rex45 one at that price. I watched this video before purchasing it and it really helped make my decision. Thank you.
Just my rex 45 version in the mail today it is a damn sweet little EDC fixed blade.
@@richierich3053 Glad you like it. I added a kydex sheath from Armatus for horizontal carry. Love the knife but wasn't a fan of the leather sheath.
I love fixed blades . That looks like a good one. I EDC a WINKLER belt knife, and a TOOR field 2.0. Trying to trade my KA-BAR for a folder, and it has been in 2 Wars with me . I do not own a folder . Have a great afternoon!
I would hold on to that aka Bar msn. That would be a keeper having been to battle.
Everyone hates on the leather sheath and I love it, scout carry EDC between 2 of these. I did wear a sheath out it was 10 bucks to replace it.
Love it sheath and all.
That’s awesome.
I carry mine in a oak city leather supply sheath that has a pocket clip on it so i can carry it like a folder
Oh nice
It's a great looking little fixed blade. Great review 👍
Thanks.
that edge bevel looks huge so I'd bet it's overbuilt like most edc knives and thus cuts like shit. but with a brittle steel like m390, it's probably necessary to avoid chipping in actual use. not many knife bros actually use knives though, I've noticed.
At purchase you pick a right or left handed sheth and don't worry about the knife coming out of the sheth. Mine never has.
Ahh okay good to know.
I just ordered one. I hope its great. Does Bradford do good heat treatments ?
Cool. Please post back up and let us know what you think after you get it.
I think people do a whole lot of whining honestly🤣. It’s a sharp, well made knife with a great steel over 60 hrc. Our predecessors used far less better quality blades to do everything we do and more. For what you are paying for it’s insane people complain. Literally the standard pocket knife is plenty as most people do more gocking over their steel manufacturers than they do actual use.
Great points.
The leather sheath is not good my tip cut through i was carrying the 3.5 had it in scout carry reached back and sliced my hand open . Get kydex pls besides that great edc fixed blade .
Oh wow really?? That’s crazy.
Looks like the sheath can be scout carried.
I have very high standards for EDC fixed blade sheaths. No leather, just right retention, unobtrusive, light weight, great accessibility, ease of cleaning, my list of requirements is long. But when I satisfy it (by making my own kydex sheath), and with a spectacular knife like the Guardian3, there's almost nothing better.
That’s cool. And I agree it needs to be just right.
@@DirkWerning my point is that fixed blade EDCs are made or broken by their sheaths. I think the reason most knife people don't get into them is they never find one with a sheath that checks all the boxes for them.
@@ZPositive I get that.
@@ZPositive i dont carry the Master Hunter because the securex they use destroys knife edges being fiber impregnated and the sheath is too tactical looking. I carry the $15 Mora Companion over it
Thats a burr on the apex.
Many video with this super knife, always cuting only paper, can't it do better ?
Oh it certainly can and it cuts well. I’m not that good at showing cutting tests etc
Oak city leather company has a great leather pocket sheath for the Bradford guardian 3 (and many others) @oakcityleathercompany
Very cool thanks.
