Bradford Guardian 5.5 _ I probably need this one too. . .

[@36reapergrim]

I must say I've never looked too closely at Bradford, but I can see I have been missing out. Beautiful blade and as always, very fine sheath! Thank you Joe for the vid and thank you Oscar for the blade submission!

[@5MinuteKnives]

I feel the same way. Really glad I got to check this one out!

I have that knife in 3V. Been using it all summer for some camp craft, cutting up fish and food prep. Figure I'll be peeling some deer hide with it this fall too. It isn't as hard to sharpen as I thought it would be. Probably the most favorite knife I've had.

@@podunkmissouri4999 I loved this one! Picking up one for myself soon…

Interesting version. I have a Bradford 3 and it’s a great knife. It’s similar to architect 5.5 which i really like. This seems like well balanced knife esp w magnacut. Thanks Oscar!

[@5MinuteKnives]

I thought the same thing! I really like how the blade isn't as heavy or tall as the architect though.

Very nice design.

Bradford makes both Taco and Pancake Kydex Sheaths for all their knives as well. For some reason, though, dealers only get their leather ones. And all Bradford knives come with choice of handles scales and, now that they have a new DLC Contractor that meets their standards, choice of coatings. And they have an awesome kitchen line. I have a Guardian 3 (M390) and 5 (3V) so far, with a 3 Wharncliffe, 3.2, 5.5, and 6 all very high on my "Awaiting Funds" list. Love me some Bradford Knives.

Thanks for the info! I have to get one now...

@@5MinuteKnives I am unashamedly a bit of a Bradford fanboy. I live on Colorado and frequently take my Guardian 5 camping. I absolutely punish that thing and it just takes it. Barely even scratched The DLC Coating.

A lot to like with this knife. I like the size and materials and blade profile. Great work on the sheath strong 💪

Thanks!
