The Beans Blades Mini Warrior Folder in Fat Carbon Lava Flow is a compact, premium everyday carry knife that channels the aggressive styling of Derek Beans’ custom fixed-blade Warrior design into a refined, pocket-friendly folding platform. Built as a production EDC with custom-level influence, it blends performance-driven materials, striking aesthetics, and dependable mechanics into a knife designed for real use and lasting impression.
At the heart of this Mini Warrior is a 3-inch blade crafted from Bohler M390 premium stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for exceptional edge retention, outstanding corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. It’s a steel trusted by serious users who expect consistent cutting power without compromise. The blade features a tanto edge shape, reinforcing the tip for added strength and piercing capability while maintaining excellent control for utility tasks. A PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating completes the blade, adding a deep, dark finish that reduces glare and increases surface durability.
With an overall length of 7.25 inches and a 4.25-inch handle, the Mini Warrior is designed for balanced carry and confident handling. The 0.159-inch blade thickness adds structural strength and stability, giving the blade a solid, purposeful feel without unnecessary bulk. It’s compact enough for everyday pocket carry while still delivering serious cutting capability when called upon.
The Fat Carbon Lava Flow handle is the visual centerpiece of this design. Swirling layers of deep black carbon fiber and glowing red tones mimic molten lava frozen in motion, creating a dynamic, high-energy appearance that shifts with the light. It’s lightweight, strong, and unmistakably custom in character, giving the knife a bold identity that stands out without sacrificing practicality.
A robust frame lock secures the blade during use, offering reliable lockup and long-term durability. The tip-up, right-hand pocket clip ensures secure carry and quick deployment, keeping the knife accessible and consistent in everyday rotation.
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.
