Marvelous example of a well designed fixed blade for EDC!
This is a terrific example of simplicity and craftsmanship taken to the highest degree. This fixed blade follows the maxim, "form follows function." I would say that this Guardian 3 can be placed next to other knives, even custom knives built-to-order.
It balances near perfect for me. You can use it for small day-to-day stuff [cutting twine, fruit slices, opening boxes, etc.] as well as heavier calls of duty: cutting a co-ax cable, skinning, trimming heavy braided cords, cutting a broadhead stuck in a log....you get the idea.
