Bradford Knives Guardian3 Gen 2 Wharnie
The Guardian3 Gen 2 Wharnie from Bradford Knives is an everyday carry fixed blade designed by Brad Larkin—built for warehouse workers, electricians, and anyone who needs a compact, capable knife for daily jobs like handling wire, cutting boxes, or opening a bottle at home. This USA-made knife features a 3.5-inch MagnaCut HH (High Hardness) Wharncliffe blade at 0.138 inches thick with a saber grind and stonewash finish, hardened to 63-64 HRC for strong edge retention and corrosion resistance. At 6.75 inches overall and 3.32 ounces, or 6.00 ounces with its Kydex sheath, the Guardian3 Gen 2 Wharnie stays easy to carry and conceal on the belt throughout the day.
The Gen 2 Guardian handle system fully covers the exposed tang along the spine, eliminating hot spots during extended cutting and creating a warmer feel in hand. Enhanced palm swell and contouring provide a secure purchase in both forward and reverse grips, and the added handle volume gives a larger-knife feel without sacrificing the slim Guardian profile. The 3D contoured handle pairs with a taco Kydex sheath for reliable retention. This is a comfortable, practical fixed blade built for daily work and ready for whatever the shift demands.
