The Beans Blades Mini Warrior Folder in Fat Carbon Black Dunes is a compact, premium everyday carry knife that carries the DNA of Derek Beans’ custom fixed-blade Warrior design into a refined, pocket-friendly folding platform. Built for performance and designed with purpose, it blends modern materials, tactical influence, and custom styling into a production folder that feels far beyond ordinary.
At the center of this knife is a 3-inch blade crafted from Bohler M390 premium stainless steel, a top-tier steel known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability. It’s a steel chosen for users who expect consistent cutting performance and minimal compromise. The blade features a tanto edge profile, delivering a reinforced tip for piercing strength while maintaining excellent control and utility. A satin finish completes the blade, giving it a clean, smooth look that highlights precision grinds and fine machining.
With an overall length of 7.25 inches and a 4.25-inch handle, the Mini Warrior is designed for balanced ergonomics and compact carry. The 0.159-inch blade thickness adds strength and stability, giving the knife the confidence to handle demanding tasks without feeling bulky in the pocket or hand.
The Fat Carbon Black Dunes handle is the standout feature, offering a layered, textured aesthetic that blends deep blacks with subtle desert-inspired tones. The result is a visually striking material that feels both natural and modern, with a lightweight structure that doesn’t sacrifice strength. It’s a handle that brings custom-shop character to a production platform, ensuring no two pieces feel exactly the same in visual depth.
A dependable frame lock secures the blade during use, offering solid lockup and long-term reliability. The tip-up, right-hand pocket clip ensures secure carry and quick deployment, making it a practical companion for everyday tasks, work use, or collection display.
Built by Beans Blades, a family-owned and operated company founded in 2019, the Mini Warrior reflects a deep passion for knives, EDC gear, and hands-on craftsmanship. From fixed blades and multi-tools to pens and folding knives, Beans Blades continues to grow its presence at major shows including Blade Show Texas, Atlanta, Utah, 50/50 Productions Nashville, and NYCKS, along with pop-up events shared through social media.
The Mini Warrior carries forward the aggressive spirit of the original Warrior fixed blade, refined into a compact folding design that’s built for daily performance and modern carry.
