I cant think of a better edc fixed blade unless I am to spend four times as much as this knife cost. However, I did that - bought a Dark Timber Tavi, but am too afraid to carry and lose the Tavi, so I still edc the Bradford.
So i really like the knife but i wish i would have known how the material looked in hand, i personally think it gives the knife a "cheap" look and wish it looked more like either wood or just not as smooth and shiny as it is. Overall i'm happy but would have got a different handle material for anyone considering
Great EDC fixed blade! Great design and feel. Sheath is good.
I have been looking for a solid EDC fixed blade for awhile. It's a perfect size, I have plenty of blade to do all my EDC tasks, while it being small enough to wear comfortably all day. The handle feels great and has plenty of real estate for a sturdy grip for those tougher tasks. The knife came razor sharp out of the box. Now the sheath, others aren't too stoked on the leather sheath, but I have had no issues with it. Retains the knife well and is comfortable to wear. I don't know if the others got lemons but so far my leather sheath has been fine.
The knife itself is amazing. Finish is top notch, it came pretty sharp out of the box and was fairly easy to resharpen when the time came.
Pretty much had a kydex sheath made almost immediately. The leather work on the sheath I got was pretty wonky and the knife is pretty loose (a couple good jumps and the knife is just about ready to fall out).
I don’t like that there is no option for left or right handed wearability. The sheath feels cheap, but I feel the molded insert will help keep the knife in the sheath even with some wear even with horizontal carry.
Out of the box, the blade was extremely sharp, and has retained the original edge very well after moderate use.
The knife feels good in my hand, and feels nicely balanced. Not bad for $120! Appropriate value for an appropriate price.
Nice knife, gross sheath.
thanks for reading.
Bought it as my go to camping knife and it fits the job perfectly!
It’s sharp, compact, a good weight, excellent thick blade, perfect finger choil.
It fits perfectly in my larger hands, and the scales feel excellent. The sheath is simple and effective and I rather like the horizontal carry position of it.
I really love the colors that I chose and would absolutely recommend this as an all-around excellent value!!
