The Beans Blades Mini Warrior Folder in Fat Carbon Dark Matter Red is a compact, high-performance everyday carry knife that brings the aggressive spirit of Derek Beans’ custom fixed-blade Warrior design into a refined folding platform. Built as a premium production EDC, it combines modern materials, functional geometry, and bold custom aesthetics into a pocket-friendly tool that’s made to be carried, used, and appreciated.
At its core, the Mini Warrior features a 3-inch blade crafted from Bohler M390 premium stainless steel, a top-tier blade steel known for exceptional edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. It’s a steel chosen for users who expect consistent performance without compromise. The tanto blade shape reinforces the tip for added strength and piercing capability, making it highly capable for demanding tasks. A PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating finishes the blade in a deep, dark tone that enhances wear resistance while reducing glare and adding a tactical edge to its appearance.
With an overall length of 7.25 inches and a 4.25-inch handle, this knife is designed for balanced carry and confident handling. The 0.159-inch blade thickness provides added strength and stability, ensuring the blade holds up under pressure while still maintaining practical cutting performance for everyday use.
The Fat Carbon Dark Matter Red handle is the visual centerpiece of this Mini Warrior. Deep black carbon fiber is threaded with rich red undertones that shift in the light, creating a layered, almost molten effect that feels alive in the hand. It’s lightweight, extremely strong, and unmistakably custom in character, giving the knife a bold presence without unnecessary bulk.
A solid frame lock secures the blade during use, offering dependable lockup and long-term reliability. The tip-up, right-hand pocket clip allows for secure carry and fast deployment, keeping the knife ready for daily tasks, work environments, or collection display.
Produced by Beans Blades, a family-owned and operated company founded in 2019 by Derek “Beans” Beans, this knife 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 knife shows including Blade Show Texas, Atlanta, Utah, 50/50 Productions Nashville, NYCKS, and various pop-up events shared through social media.
The Mini Warrior carries forward the design language of the original Warrior fixed blade, refined into a compact folding format built for everyday carry, reliability, and standout style.
