Bradford Guardian 3.5, 3D Camo Micarta Guardian 3.5 M390, Sabre Stonewashed 35S-109

The knife is flawless. The 3.5 is about as small as you can go when it comes to having a full grip with XL hands. Therefore I would advice the 3.5 over the 3.5 if your hand are L/XL. It fits beautifully in my hands and came very sharp. The jimping grips perfectly. The spine is not sharp but rounded, so no firesteel scraping. It makes it more comfortable to use when you choke up on the blade. However, the sheath is terrible. When I just unboxed the knife I removed it from the sheath, put it back in gently and it went straight through the sheath and stabbed my hand. Therefore I didn't trust the sheath and didn't really carry the knife. The retention was also too loose for me. You basically have to look and buy another sheath when you buy the knife. I was lucky to find some kydex sheath on eBay, but I would love to see knivesandtools sell armatus carry sheaths again. Especially for Bradford models. I realised that the sheath really makes the knife. But once again, apart from the sheath, the knife is perfect.
