The Beans Blades Mini Warrior Folder in Fat Carbon Mars Valley Crosscut is a compact, premium everyday carry knife that transforms the aggressive custom styling of Derek Beans’ Warrior fixed blade into a refined folding platform built for daily use. Designed as a production EDC with true custom influence, it blends high-end materials, purposeful geometry, and a visually striking handle into a knife that’s as capable as it is distinctive.
At its core is a 3-inch blade crafted from Bohler M390 premium stainless steel, a top-tier steel known for outstanding edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability. It’s a steel chosen for users who demand consistent cutting performance and reliability over time. The blade features a tanto shape, reinforcing the tip for added strength and piercing capability while maintaining excellent control for precision work. A satin finish completes the blade, delivering a clean, refined appearance that highlights the grind lines and gives the knife a classic, no-nonsense aesthetic.
Measuring 7.25 inches overall with a 4.25-inch handle, the Mini Warrior is designed for balanced ergonomics and comfortable everyday carry. The 0.159-inch blade thickness adds structural strength and stability, giving the blade a confident feel without unnecessary bulk. It’s compact enough for pocket carry yet substantial enough to handle demanding tasks.
The Fat Carbon Mars Valley Crosscut handle is the visual highlight of this configuration. Layered carbon fiber is cut with a crosshatched pattern that creates depth, texture, and a shifting sense of movement across the surface. Earthy tones mixed with cosmic undertones give it a rugged, planetary-inspired look that feels like it was pulled from another world. It’s lightweight, incredibly strong, and unmistakably custom in character.
A reliable frame lock secures the blade during use, offering solid lockup and long-term dependability. The tip-up, right-hand pocket clip ensures secure carry and fast access, making it a dependable companion for everyday tasks, work environments, or collection display.
Built by Beans Blades, a family-owned and operated company founded in 2019 by Derek “Beans” Beans, this knife reflects a deep-rooted passion for knives, EDC gear, and hands-on craftsmanship.
