I really enjoy mine, it feels so substantial in such a compact package. And they did a great job on the M390, too. I carry mine as a neck knife with an Armatus Carry sheath. Thanks for the video, I'm enjoying your stuff!
Just picked on up in black handle scales, AEB-L steel, and Nimbus finish! Love it! I carry it with the handle pointing toward my belt buckle on my left side, this way I can take my right hand and pull the blade out of the sheath. Hope that's still a good way to carry.
@@doodysdaggers Thanks so much for your reply! I'm just getting into fixed blades, and I'm excited to hear how others like to carry. I'm very glad I found your channel! Love the way you make videos, and look forward to staying tuned! All my very best!
Very cool, I like that size. Something about a fixed blade, they feel like a real tool. All I have is a few real nice Japanese ones, a Buck Pathfinder, couple daggers, and a lil Sea Snake, but none quite right for EDC like that. I should start looking for that perfect one!
Thanks man! That Pathfinder is badass though, I’ve had my eye on it for a while! Yeah this Guardian is amazing. And if you get this version in N690 it’s very reasonably priced 😉
The Sea Snake is really good. Feels good quality wise and really handy cool blade shape. The Pathfinder is a great classic, but a bit long for general EDC. The Woodsman might've worked better, both kinda skinny though. You know what, I might just go for a Guardian3! I love the size and quality.
Just ordered a camo contoured micarta in m390 can't freaking wait!!! The flat g10 look better imho but a fixed blade should be comfortable so i went that route. Love the looks of the 3 wish they didnt make the 3.5 so fugly or i would've got that instead. Ive been running my izula 2 just inside of my belt buckle so i dont have to take the sheath off and put it back on every day.
I’ve put off the guardian 3 for to long and I’m now convinced to just grab one. I want the Shheeps foot one though or maybe that drop point. Hell maybe both. I’ve been carrying the sea snake for a while but there’s some serious flaws in how it carries on waist or in pocket with Ulti clip. It’s ok but I think guardian will be a home run
I like mine, but I bought a kydex sheath for it with the soft loops so I can still carry horizontal. The leather it comes with is great for awhile, but over time they tend to loosen up a bit. I grabbed one of the Magnacut ones because I have been wanting to check out that steel. It's the only knife I have in that steel so far.
I liked it so much I got it's bigger bro the 4 and it's even better than the 3 in hand, and get the kydex sheath. They have the best customer service in the world great people.
Do you still feel the same about the N690? Looking to buy one solid edc fixed blade for work. I’ve always used budget ones but have depleted/ sold off most of my collection now.
i bought a cheap appendix carry knife to see if i would like it. i really did so i bought a guardian 3 in m390 should be here tomorrow. cant wait. what i like about appendix carry is the knife is ready to go immediately! it is very cool. i like folders too, but there is something about the knife being ready for action immediately with appendix carry.

ive had it in m390 as an edc for almost 6 year and its been wonderful
Great knife. You should do a video on it. It would be great to see a long term review of how its held up over the years.
I really enjoy mine, it feels so substantial in such a compact package. And they did a great job on the M390, too. I carry mine as a neck knife with an Armatus Carry sheath. Thanks for the video, I'm enjoying your stuff!
Exactly! So sturdy yet so easy to carry. Thanks buddy! 🤘🤠
@@doodysdaggers I tagged you on Insta with my green-and-purple version!
I've just ordered one of these. Thanks for reviewing it.
Just picked on up in black handle scales, AEB-L steel, and Nimbus finish! Love it! I carry it with the handle pointing toward my belt buckle on my left side, this way I can take my right hand and pull the blade out of the sheath. Hope that's still a good way to carry.
That’s the same way I carry it! It’s really nice, doesn’t get in the way sitting down or bending over. Love that sheath
@@doodysdaggers Thanks so much for your reply! I'm just getting into fixed blades, and I'm excited to hear how others like to carry. I'm very glad I found your channel! Love the way you make videos, and look forward to staying tuned! All my very best!

I plan on getting a sea snake also.

Oh very nice!! You’ll love it. That’s the only thing I would change about mine, I’d love contoured scales. Let me know how you like it man!

Oh dude once you get the guardian on your belt you’ll be so happy, I promise. I e been carrying it more than any other knife the last few weeks!
i have the orange m390 version and i love it! tempted to get the AEB-L one
Very cool. I was checking out the wharnie but they were a bit pricey at the time. They are coming down now I might grab one.
PeaceUoot Dood.
Hell yeah that wharnie version is wicked! I think this one in N690 is around $100
This Doody guy is going to send me down another rabbit hole and my wife's going to end up leaving me 😂
I’d hate to destroy a marriage 😂
I like mine, but I bought a kydex sheath for it with the soft loops so I can still carry horizontal. The leather it comes with is great for awhile, but over time they tend to loosen up a bit. I grabbed one of the Magnacut ones because I have been wanting to check out that steel. It's the only knife I have in that steel so far.
Okay that’s what I was wondering, how the sheath would hold up. I may end up going kydex as well eventually. Thanks buddy!
I liked it so much I got it's bigger bro the 4 and it's even better than the 3 in hand, and get the kydex sheath. They have the best customer service in the world great people.
That’s great to hear, I love that. I may graduate to the 4 sometime too 😉
The first 15 seconds looked like character select in a video game
Haha yea it does
Its great, but I wish I got the 3.5 because of no finger choil, thinks a lil better for a fixed blade. Safer maybe not better.🤔
Oh I didn’t realize the larger one didn’t have the choil. Hmm, I may have to get one of those sometime
I just realized, if i scout carry, the sheath isn't for a left handed guy like me 😢
Do you still feel the same about the N690? Looking to buy one solid edc fixed blade for work. I’ve always used budget ones but have depleted/ sold off most of my collection now.
I like it on this knife. I’ve had it before where the heat treat must not have been up to par because it wasn’t great
@@doodysdaggersGood to know, think ima pull the trigger! They’re on Amazon new for $93 rn
Been going back & forth on the M390 or N690.
Funny how one knife can change it all
You should ask Jevan about removing those scales, he broke several of those tools
Oh the tools that take out that hardware? Damn okay
Do you know of an aftermarket clip/sheath that would work well with this knife?
I don’t, there are people that do aftermarket kydex sheaths but I don’t know any of them
@@doodysdaggers Thanks. I like your content. Keep it sharp!
I decided to go with the Guardian 3.5, I just don’t like the design of the 3 and it’s finger choke up and it’s tiny grip.
Fair enough! I actually ended up grinding this one into a sheepsfoot. It looked a little weird with the longer blade and small handle
Every body goes on an on about Bradford lol I might have to try and swing one ugh
Haha I know, but it’s for good reason! They’re just good!
Sell some of those broken knives and really start to invest... Do I see a Randall in your future?
Haha maybe!! 😉
i bought a cheap appendix carry knife to see if i would like it. i really did so i bought a guardian 3 in m390 should be here tomorrow. cant wait. what i like about appendix carry is the knife is ready to go immediately! it is very cool. i like folders too, but there is something about the knife being ready for action immediately with appendix carry.
Right on! You’ll love it. I agree, appendix carry is the best hands down
