The **Bradford Guardian 4** is a good fixed knife for outdoor tasks. From hunting and hiking to bushcraft and survival purposes. It has an 11.8 cm blade and because of the large finger groove, just behind the edge, you have a lot of control over the blade.



The blade is made from Böhler M390 steel. This is an Austrian type of super steel. One of the best high-end choices at the moment. M390 excels when it comes to sharpness retention and corrosion resistance. The handle is made from carbon fibre and 3D shaped. As a result it feels great in hand.



This Bradford Guardian 4 comes in a leather sheath. It is enhanced with a belt loop.

Sehr guter und scharfer Anschliff der Klinge. Super Stahl mit einem tollen Stonewash - Finish. Klingenrücken und Erl sind recht grob bearbeitet (wirkt irgenwie gefeilt oder ausgesägt) - aber das ist wohl typisch und gewollt für Bradford - Messer (und auch irgendwie ein Markenzeichen). Die 3D - Carbon - Griffschalen hingegen sind absolut sauber verarbeitet und fühlen sich angenehm "seidig" an. Der Griff liegt auch sehr gut in der Hand. Der Gesamteindruck wird etwas beeinträchtigt durch die mäßige Qualität der Lederscheide aus der das Messer auch recht leicht herausrutscht (wirkt auf den Produktfotos "wertiger"). Ich werde mir wohl eine passende Kydex dazu besorgen.
Insgesamt aber ein sehr robustes Messer und durchaus eine Kaufempfehlung.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

Material

knife_best_use

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
