M390 would be cool to try but something is holding me back on this knife, not sure what it is.. I like the size, the steel and the sheath so who knows maybe I’ll try one out someday

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Hey man. You're the randomly chosen winner. Direct message me with your name and email address so I can get you the e-gift card.

[@t_mac6866]

Thanks so much man! I’ll send you my info when I get home today. Can’t find the direct message option using the KZbin app..

[@Datsyzerberg]

It's my daily driver. 3d scales are next level.

[@jolness1]

How you liking it? I think I'm gonna order one as a secondary knife that I can use harder than my nicer folders. Small size and scout carry options is 🔥

[@jacemillan9700]

I think this has been the knife I'm most interested in from the 4 reviews posted today and it wasn't even on my radar before this. Thanks!

[@BackcountryExposure]

Almost every time I walk into Blade HQ I take a look at this knife. Been wanting it for a while. I need to just make it happen. Great video!

[@DamionJR4923]

I am really into small fixed blades. I haven’t bought any folders for a while. Scout great videos right up my alley.

[@spudnick94]

I LOVE the leather sheath. The knife sheath combo really blends a classic look with “tacticool” look of the knife itself

[@RealR.J.]

I’ve been looking for an EDC fixed blade and this one looks perfect!

[@calebg7682]

I’ve always loved this design for EDC. Thanks for the review.

[@Cr0cket20]

I have really enjoyed this knife. One of my favorite small fixed blades. Great review.

[@Mitcheco]

I've had my eye on one of these for a long time now... One day I'll pull the trigger!

[@Surago]

Awesome knife. I've been hesitating pulling the trigger on this knife for a long time. This just solidifies the fact that I need to get one.

[@airtaiH2]

That fixed blade and grip look great together! Thankful I can put it on my wanted list~

[@DeathBecomesHerDeathBecomesHer]

I bought the Guardian 3 in M390 with the flat OD green G10 scales. It will arrive in 3 days and I'm so damn excited I can hardly stand it! I've watched this review at least 5x in the last few days. I haven't been this excited for a knife in a long time.

[@survivalmeanders6058]

The leather sheath with horizontal carry is simply awesome.

[@paulduggan2]

Thank you for this video, it really helped me make my decision. I’ve just made my purchase... and now, I wait! Thanks again for the depth of your review, your time is very much appreciated.

[@wake777]

Like it? I want one for sure

[@rickjohnson4009]

Just made a trade for this knife. Thank you for the excellent review. Looking forward to getting even more now.

[@alexkilgore616]

I love that knife! I’d love to get one with natural g10 handle scales! Thanks for all you do and happy thanksgiving!

[@j-sonS]

I just got one and so far I like it. Seems really nicely made and sharp out of the box too. I got the 3d handles. Nice stuff

[@96joe]

That’s a very nice knife that blade thickness 👍 only reason I don’t like leather sheaths is along time ago I put a fillet knife almost through my hand but having a kidex insert is very pleasing knowing the knife won’t go through the leather. 👍

[@BigFootWalker]

Really like the Bradford Guardian 3.. It certainly has a wide appeal with choice of steel and blade grind.

[@Hungrybird474]

Same here . Like it a lot , and the sheath . The g4 is next if this steel does well 👍

[@r.c.muhlbaier4960]

Might be picking up one of these. Thanks for the review.

[@PrioritySurvival]

I have been looking to upgrade my neck knife and you have just posted a video on 80% of the knives I was looking at

[@RussLicht]

I can see why you like this one best of the 3 presented today. The only thing left is to feel it in my hand to be sure.

[@joshuafixx9540]

Need one of those in the collection! Cool blade. Thanks!

[@jonisoininen5110]

Awesome rewiew as always, love the looks of that knife!

[@Gunfighter314]

Love this series of knives. Great quality. Keep up the great videos.

[@joedidit9630]

I do like the look of the knife. I would have to play with it for a while to see if I could like the square design on the scales.

[@rileymasters1265]

Looks like an awesome knife. A bit out of my price range, unfortunately. Thanks for doing these reviews!

[@albertobourdier3130]

Nice video very well put together and very informative, nicely worded.

[@ScottieG59]

I carry mine the same way and it is accessible with either hand. I also have the kydex sheath, but I really like the leather sheath for edc. You need to use-a thinner belt with the sheath.

[@WVKnifeLife]

Nice knife. Has me thinking about belt carry for EDC.

[@Scarywoody]

I met the Bradford folks at Blade Show. Great people.

[@APBT-Bandog]

If they had the blade with the guard of the 3.5 model, but the lighter handle design of the guardian 3...they would have the perfect EDC knife

[@xjrob85]

Very nice! I love the leather sheath.

[@raymondschroerlucke541]

love the knife and the sheath even for the price. If I done win I will probably get one. All in all great review and too all a happy thanksgiving

[@r.huffman1091]

Ooo, I may want this for black Friday!

[@ericdale5670]

The guardian 3 looks like a winner. I like the horizontal carry sheath.

[@maxs.5163]

Huge thank for quality of your videos ant content! Really helpfull

[@helamcasey7828]

I like all the options for this blade

[@rhahnabunaid]

Bradford Knives will be having a large sale on Black Friday! Don't miss out if you've had your eyes on this blade. Super stoked myself to finally purchase a Guardian 3. Must've had my eyes on it for over a year now. Also great to finally have a Late Boy Scout review of this fantastic knife!

[@alanjhornung7077]

Great Review of Small Guardian !

[@Rusted1859]

I got the guardian 3 because i like the similarity to vg-10 with n690

[@mikeb6981]

Great video very informative i just ordered one it is the 3.5 version im really looking forward to using it. M390 from what I've read is some good stuff and this EDC style knife will fit the bill. Once again brother great video and great channel.

[@jeremyburris4890]

How do you like the 3.5

[@Boxerjake77]

Great video and review, well done.

[@chrisxx012]

Very cool I've have to check them out

[@zachhanna3]

Nicest looking knife you've tested in this lot I think!

[@michaelask6023]

I like it a lot. One with the very rounded micarta would be very comfortable I assume.

[@Max1dollar]

Uh oh I might need this! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@petehorn6705]

Have a great thanksgiving dinner! Take care

[@CHRISLTR250]

definitely a knife i wanna pick up for edc

[@grominwithrob1339]

I've fallen in love with the izula in s35vn, but I feel they didn't heat treat the blade properly. I have to constantly sharpen it and remove nicks in the blades edge. I just bought a Bradford guardian 3 in m390. Can't wait to try out the Bradford's. If they do a good job with the steel I may get the guardian 4 and 5.5 to replace all my ESEE knives since I can get better steels than s35vn or 1095.

[@sunbunbradley]

If you like that sheath you should try a WINKLER sheath.

[@SheaTransue]

Really nice knife. I like the sheath. I like how thin it is but the width of the blade is a a bit much. If only the rainier had scales and a leather sheath. I love the shape of that one.

[@ryanp.8387]

Awesome knife, great price point

[@drmaudio]

That knife gives me the fizz. Maybe a little more than it should.

[@drtracyst]

i have the tops msk great knife but i will be trying the guardian 3 in m 390.

[@derjager2991]

great for edc, I wonder how long the sheath stays snug.

[@robinson12db]

Looks like a great Knife

[@13noman1]

I've got a somewhat larger Bradford (5) but they surely make great knives. I don't think folks could go wrong with the Guardian 3. In fact, I strongly considered getting one a while back -- but I already have a Scandi Trekker and couldn't see a whole lot of difference functionally. Thoughts?

[@andrewridings3642]

Thanks for the GAW.

[@dgzee66]

Wonder if you can get the sheath in kydex

[@yavornikolov6965]

How would you guys compare it with the White River M1 Backpacker?

[@memphischuck]

Looks awesome!

[@jthatguys]

I’ve worn the N690 version for about 3 weeks, I forget that I’m wearing it. The only thing I don’t like is having to take my belt off to remove it. I wish I had bought the M390 version. I might still do that.

[@bionick4281]

@TheLateBoyScout is there a belt knife comparable to this one under $100 that you could recommend?

[@theshanester9823]

I've never carried a fix blade in that position. Looks like the right size for my belt

[@MYOUNG-tu5zy]

like the guardian series, but the sheepsfoot guardian 3 is my favorite.

[@totallyrandomstuffandrevie9609]

I've got that in m-4 and ghost g-10. Luv it!

[@astrazenica7783]

Does look nice. Great dimensions. Nice sheath. The Guardian 4 handle looks perfect too. Esee izula is overpriced imho, when u add in handles, sheath options it gets kinda ridiculous for what it is, at least in Europe. Much prefer the guardian

[@hunterlin8269]

Which one is this? Like the finish and colorway.

[@Eric_Schon]

I want one in the natural g10 handle scales.

[@Gendronk]

How is the retention on the sheath

[@clintwalker2698]

Ordered one from DLT trading for $173 with m390 . Looking forward to its arrival. Thankyou for the review.

[@mosesavraham]

I got mine too in m390 with carbon handles.. how about you? Did u liked the handle ergonomic on it?

[@craze77]

Excellent review 👍🏻

[@Bobster709]

Awesome video!

[@user-dq6ff6hc5g]

It's out of my budget but even other youtubers mentioned how good the knife is. I would like to see how bohler m390 steel holds up and if you think it is worth the price. Great video and keep up the good work!

[@ians.2941]

Yungi Park m390 is a high end steel like elmax, s90v, 20cv

[@joshjealouse4320]

cool looking knife!

[@allthingsrandom7093]

Awesome!! Awesome knife!!

[@gregbolhous9085]

i think a tanto version would be cool.

[@lori_bear2445]

Thank you!

[@05generic]

I like it. Nice review.

[@zacharyrycroft5193]

I've heard lot about this knife almost all of them good

[@wedo4444]

I love everything about this knife, except the lack of a finger guard. If you're choking up it's fine. But, i don't like my finger that close to the edge in a normal grip. Especially if you had to use it in a self defense situation.

[@mdhargis]

Like the knife, but too pricey for me. I’ll keep running my Izula II. Thanks for the vid.

[@RandiRieffer]

Awesome thanks.

[@rightsman123]

Thanks so much.

[@joatman96]

Great video

[@calebtownsend4384]

One with kydex would be great, I always wear out edc leather sheathes.

[@ScottieG59]

Caleb Townsend i bought my kydex sheath through Bradford online.

[@KungFuTweety1]

Very cool!

[@Justifiedforce]

Black Friday sucks because I want to buy for myself.

[@ashtongroves2394]

Cool knife

[@hervue85]

Very nice blade. I really wish i have the $ for it.

[@brandonfeole6336]

Nice knife

[@SuperToobored]

Gotta like a nice leather sheath

[@randallkelley3599]

Santa Clause is coming to my house w/ one of those, pretty sure, maybe!

[@darrellguillory6078]

O am getting one.

[@Datsyzerberg]

100.3g knife alone. 143.2g with sheath. Beware the man who carries one gun. This knife I like that for me. Use it edc. Backpacking. Everywhere.

[@tristonsimmons9892]

i want tjis knife so bad

[@zacharywagaman5564]

I want one so bad, Entering the giveaway

[@jaredtyra6311]

Looks ergonomic

[@59BigWalt]

The Guardian 3 could be a real EDC option.
