(Scratch n' Dent) Bradford Knives Guardian 3 | Leather Pocket Sheath, Titanium Clip

Scratch n' Dent marked items fail to meet my quality standards for cosmetic reasons. They are fully functional and will serve you well, but they have one or more cosmetic issues. In 95% of cases, this is my makers mark stamp not stamping correctly, or a flaw in the leather that was not seen during the initial cutout. Additionally, the hardware sometimes has a cosmetic flaw, not affecting performance. These items are deeply discounted.

This particular unit had a small blemish on the backside as indicated by the arrow in the photo. Everything else is perfect.

The Opus Sheath

After 6 and a half months of development, we proudly present, The Opus. In Latin, opus signifies both a 'product of labor' and 'work of art', we believe this sheath represents both. The highly refined pocket sheath for the Bradford Guardian 3 has gone through 5 iterations with the first dating back to September of 2023, all before bringing it to market. We made small impactful changes over a period of time, carrying the sheath daily, putting it through its paces, and bringing it back to the design table in order to dial in the performance and aesthetics. In its final and complete iteration, we are confident we've created something truly worthy of your front pocket.

Almost 5 years ago, we produced the very first leather pocket sheath for the Bradford Guardian 3, it was called the Raider and it was featured multiple times by Taylor Martin from BestDamnEDC on Youtube. We've produced nearly a dozen variations of that sheath and it's been a flagship for us. The Opus sheath however, is on another level.

Compared to its predecessor, it boasts superior rigidity, improved retention, greater wear resistance, significantly higher precision in terms of fitment, and a number of highly nuanced trade secrets in the crafting process that merge to create a world-class feel.

It is designed to fit the 3d contoured handles of the Bradford Guardian 3 Drop point, and swedged drop point. It will not fit the sheepsfoot or wharncliffe variants. 

There will be a number of leather types and colors to choose from, but to launch The Opus, we've decided to start with a gorgeous combination of Black and Grey. 

As always, entirely handcrafted, hand stitched, with top shelf luxury leather, and an aerospace grade titanium clip.
