Dang new vid already sweet. And another great review!

[@HardOnGearChannel]

Yessir, I missed a couple of uploads while away for work, so I’m playing catch-up for a week or two. Thanks bro ✌️

[@TheBudgetguy_K.T]

Heck yeah us smaller knife bro's gotta watch out for each other! Your one of the channels that made me decide to try making vids.

[@HardOnGearChannel]

@@TheBudgetguy_K.T Hey that’s sick! Metal Complex and Nick Shabazz were two big catapults for me trying this KZbin thing out, so I’m happy for any positive influence I can provide. Happy content creating 👊

[@sunbunbradley]

That seems like a really nice knife . Great review! Fixed blade EDC!

[@HardOnGearChannel]

Greatly appreciated 🤘

[@wendigotactical9892]

Awesome first peek, I can’t wait to see this Bradford compared with the Izula 2.

[@HardOnGearChannel]

Thanks man, I’ve been looking forward to doing that comparison since I bought the Izula 2. Looking forward to making it 🤘

[@robertmorano2372]

I've just recently started getting into EDC-ing a fixed blade. Eventually, I'm sure I will get one of these, but the real comparison I cannot get out of my head is the guardian 3 in comparison to the Native 5. The guardian 3 looks like a native 5 fixed blade (my favorite folder of all time) and I cannot un see it!

[@HardOnGearChannel]

Ha, no kidding! That’ll be stuck in my head from now on as well. Pretty accurate.

[@normcote270]

I own the Bradrord 3.5 sherpsfoot with ghost scales in Bohler steel. I as well.own the ESEE Izula in s35vn with custom scales from Knife Connection @ $40.00. IMO..and for me at least it's the ESEE Izula FTW🗡🗡🗡 I own the ESSE Xancudo as well and between the Izula and Xancudo it's a coin toss to pick my favorite🗡🗡

[@grominwithrob1339]

I have been a huge folder person, but I have fallen in love with the ESEE Izula in s30vn. I would like a little more blade and another steel so I just ordered the Bradford guardian 3 in m390. Can't wait to give it a try. We will see if it dethrones my Izula. 🤣

[@HardOnGearChannel]

Ha! That’s awesome man. I’ll be curious to see where you land on that. Best of luck with the G3 🤙

[@jamesreese7111]

Great video. I watched it prior to shopping for one. I recently found an awesome exclusive at GPKnives they are offering it in Rex45 for $110 U.S.(g10) - $130 U.S.(carbon fiber) Thanks.

[@HardOnGearChannel]

Thanks, and glad to hear it! Enjoy the knife 🤙

[@darckarcaradrahs3476]

Remove or turn plastic element which is inside the sheath, then you will have left handed sheath.

[@HardOnGearChannel]

Oh no way! Thanks for the tip 👌

[@phillipfitzpatrick8207]

Try changing up that horrendous yellow background to allow a better colour representation of your knife. Otherwise I think I've found a new favourite knife channel.

[@HardOnGearChannel]

Thanks for the comment and the honest suggestion 🤘 The yellow is part of the branding and it makes my videos easy to differentiate. Also, I don’t own any knives with anything yellow, so I figured it would be a good colour contrast. The lacking image quality may be more an issue of shitty lighting on my part as well. Either way, I’ll be upgrading and tweaking my set up soon, so I’ll be keeping that in mind and try to improve it 👌
