Beans Blades Mini Scout Fixed Blade — M390 Purple Haze Camo Carbon

Description Beans Blades Mini Scout Fixed Blade — M390 Purple Haze Camo Carbon Some knives are tools. Some are art. The Beans Blades Mini Scout is both. Designed and hand-finished by Derek Beans out of his shop in South Florida, the Mini Scout carries the DNA of his acclaimed Warrior fixed blade series — refined into a compact, every-carry-capable package. This particular variant is dressed in **Purple Haze camo carbon** scales, a cross-cut carbon fiber pattern that pulses with iridescent purple and grey tones depending on the light. It’s the kind of handle material that stops people mid-conversation. ### Bohler M390 — The Gold Standard for Fixed Blade Steel The blade is forged from **Bohler M390**, a third-generation micro-clean powder metallurgy stainless steel that represents the upper tier of production blade steels. M390 is engineered for: – **Exceptional edge retention** — holds a working edge dramatically longer than conventional stainless steels – **Outstanding corrosion resistance** — stands up to sweat, saltwater, and hard use without babying – **Superior hardness** — typically heat treated to 60–62 HRC for a balance of toughness and wear resistance Whether you’re wearing this on your belt daily, packing it on a hunt, or adding it to a collection, M390 gives you confidence that the blade will perform every single time. ### Purple Haze Camo Carbon Scales The handle scales are cut from **camo carbon fiber** in the sought-after Purple Haze pattern — a premium composite material prized by collectors for its visual depth, lightweight feel, and near-indestructible durability. Carbon fiber won’t warp, crack, or absorb moisture, making it an ideal handle material for a fixed blade that actually gets used. ### Handcrafted by Derek Beans Derek Beans founded Beans Blades in 2019 with a background in mechanical and electrical engineering. Every fixed blade that leaves his shop is hand-finished and built to exacting standards. The Mini Scout is not a production knife — it is a **handmade piece** from a maker who cares deeply about what his name gets attached to. ### Comes with Kydex Sheath The Mini Scout ships with a **custom-fitted Kydex sheath** for secure carry, easy draw, and reliable retention. Kydex is the material of choice for working fixed blade sheaths — it’s waterproof, rigid, lightweight, and holds its shape indefinitely. ### Why Add This to Your Collection? – Rare colorway — Purple Haze camo carbon is a limited material run – Handmade in the USA by Derek Beans – M390 steel means this blade stays sharp and looks pristine for years – Ready to carry straight out of the box with the included Kydex sheath – Makes an exceptional display piece or a hard-working carry knife This is a collector’s knife that doesn’t apologize for getting used.
