The Bradford Guardian 3.2 is an upgraded version of the Guardian 3 knife. Instead of having a larger finger choil as part of the grip, it now features a smaller choil with a lip to protect your fingers from the blade. The blade itself is slightly longer than before. This knife is still the same reliable and beloved USA-made fixed blade with a full tang that will last for many years. With the Guardian 3.2, you can work harder and with more confidence.
