Bradford Guardian 4 Knife – The Ultimate Outdoor Fixed Blade

Built for the Wild, Made to Last

When you hold the Bradford Guardian 4 knife, you know you’re carrying more than just a tool—you’re holding a purpose-built companion for the backcountry. Designed and made in Kent, Washington, by Brad Larkin and his small, fiercely proud team, this knife is all about clean lines, smart ergonomics, and functional toughness. It doesn’t show off, but it doesn’t need to. Every inch of it has a job to do.

No-Nonsense Design, Real-World Performance

The Guardian 4 fixed blade features a high-performance N690 stainless steel blade with a subtle stonewash finish that shrugs off the scuffs of regular field use. Bradford’s smart use of heavy jimping near the spine gives your thumb solid purchase, especially when feather-sticking or carving. In the hand, the handle just fits—no sharp edges, no awkward shapes. G10 scales in black and blue provide grip even when wet, and they’re bolted to a full tang you can see and feel. Nothing fancy—just rock-solid construction.

Whether you’re out clearing trail, prepping firewood, or handling wild game, this knife stays steady and confident. It's big enough to work hard, yet balanced enough to handle delicate cuts. The lanyard cut-out at the tail end shows that every detail has been thought through.

Everyday Utility Meets Rugged Style

Carrying the Bradford Guardian 4 knife is easy thanks to the included premium leather sheath. It rides well on the belt, draws smoothly, and secures with confidence. You’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again, whether you're deep in the woods or fixing gear in the garage.
