COMFY, EDC-FRIENDLY: Many people prefer fixed blades to folders. For one thing, they don't have any moving parts, which makes them far stronger. For another, they’re much easier to clean and allow you to twist, pry, and pierce without worrying about disengaging a lock. Our first fixed blade collaboration, the Mass drop x Bradford Guardian 3. 5 is a twist on a popular existing design—now with new materials and colorways. Featuring a 3. 5-inch Nitro-V stainless steel blade, the American-made Guardian 3. 5 is fit for the jobsite, warehouse, boat, or backyard. Thanks to the contoured CNC-machined scales and the large grip area behind the small sharpening choil, it’s super easy to use. The design facilitates maximum control whether you choke up, choke down, or use a reverse grip.

First, there’s G-10: a rugged heat- and water-resistant material with high tensile strength. Next there's G-Wood: a tough composite made from G-10 and natural wood veneer. Up next is Rich lite: a durable and sustainable material made from 65 percent recycled paper and 35 percent phenolic resin. And finally, there's Linen Micarta: a strong and moisture-resistant laminate with a fibrous feel to it. All of the scales are 3D contoured for a comfy hold and can be adjusted with a common #4 spanner bit. A CLOSER LOOK AT NITRO-V STEEL: Created by New Jersey Steel Baron, Nitro-V is a nitrogen-enriched stainless steel with excellent edge retention, high hardness, and extreme corrosion resistance. Most often compared with AEB-L—a steel praised by custom knife makers for its use in razor blades—Nitro-V enhances the formula with nitrogen and vanadium. This new recipe provides better wear resistance, especially in marine and wet environments. It can
