Did you have the false edge on your Bradford G3s added, or did they come with them? Any pics?

I don't have any pics of the knives. There is a tapered swedge. I would not call it a false edge, but that is how it is listed.

I plan to buy the Bradford Guardian 4 in M390 too.

I love these knives and it's a decent sized blade in M390, one of my favorite steels.

Virtually all of my knives, fixed and folding are small compared to most here on BF.
Here is a recent photo of the upper end of my Bird & Trout knives which are small by definition, not by usefulness.

The size ranges from the 6.0" OAL AG Russell Woodswalker, bottom row, far left, to 8.5" OAL for the Browning Escalade B&T, bottom row, 5th from the left. The majority of these knives are production knives, under $100 ea. and still available. Only the two, top row far left could be considered custom knives. The Buck 102 was my first hunting knife bought in the early 70's when I was maybe 13. Even then I appreciated the beauty and utility to be found in little knives

I like seeing that the 102 still has fans. It wasn't my first hunting knife, but it was my first serious stainless hunting knife that my dad bought for me when we moved to Tampa in 74 when I was 9. It was there that he really ramped up my skills training in living off the land during the stock market crash and recession of the 70s. He had grown up there during the depression of the 30s. The 102 was the replacement for a German made hi carbon steel knife I ruined pretty quickly not understanding the salt water effects on steel. By the time I was 12 he was getting more advanced with lessons and I had a Buck 119 and slip joint folder combination. I'm currently working on my biography, so I've spent some time carrying and using a new 102 to help remember some of the details of it that are buried now. One of the areas we went to a lot had some avocado trees.

Really like the look of those White River knives. Like pointier Izulas.
