Crossed paths with a nice old fella today & we made a good old fashioned barter trade. Never heard of this line of cutlery before up in Washington state but this feels real good in the hand. 6.5" overall with a 3.5" fixed blade.

Have not. But I have a CPM-MagnaCut from Spyderco that has impressed me as the sharpest thing I've ever seen and I see they've got them for pretty reasonable. I've been thinking about getting a skinner in it. Be nice to not have to sharpen during a deer job.

The old timer said it was a safe queen and he never used it once. It is sharp as hell.

Bradford knives are nice. I want a 3 or 3.5 and maybe a 4.

I have a couple of paring knives from them and bought a chef's knife for my BIL. They make quality knives.

Yes. Don't own one yet but they have a solid reputation.

I've been looking at their kitchen knives in magnacut because I don't understand wtf my wife does to knife edges.

Ive been looking for a horizontal carry fixed blade. Never heard of bradford, but the guardian 3 with a leather sheath looks like what Ive been looking for, might have to try one out.

You made a fine trade. Bradford makes a quality product.
I purchased the Guardian 4 because the girlfriend said in my case a another inch makes all the difference.

Yep, every inch counts...

I've been using it quite a bit since I got it. Handles great. Razor sharp. Most of all glad it ain't made in China.
