COLD STEEL Finn Wolf 3.5in AUS8A Razor-Sharp Straight Back Blade 4.375in Griv-Ex OD Green Handle Hunting Folding Knife, Boxed

This is a good knife but be mindful of what you cut. It holds a good edge and its good for simple usage. The lock is solid and it’s a safe knife. Very balanced with an even weight. It’s crafted well. I had some issues with the blade chipping but I can manage that. Nice fit and great knife

Very nice scandi grind, tried it out on some basswood and cordage, extremely sharp edge, a little hard to close, but other than that, it's a great value.

This is 4 ½ stars but I cant do half stars. Anyway most of this review is going to be a comparison. I am a huge fan of scandi knives and so of course im going to compare this knife to the Mora Companion! First and foremost…this knife IS INDEED a true scandi! I was shocked a true scandi on a folding knife for this price is awesome! There are a few others out there of course but they are all much more expensive or too fat or just lies. (saying scandi but actually there is a micro bevel). All I did on it was some light stropping and then I did a blade test against my mora companion and it held up! It might have even done a little better! I am so happy to find a folding scandi! This is my new favorite single blade EDC! ((For those of you who don’t know what scandi means or why that’s a big deal…I’ll just say that to grind a blade down to a true scandi is a lot of work and most knife companies don’t wanna put up with that. Where as throwing on a quick micro bevel (weather its convex or hollow grind) takes almost no effort for a major knife company with the right machinery. That’s one of the reasons why Mora with its cheap true scandi razor sharp knives are so popular. If you want to know why a scandi grind is superior in the first place go and do some research or buy a mora or this knife and find out for yourself)) Second. While the handle is indeed plastic it seems decent quality. In comparing it to mora companion: The mora’s plastic and this plastic seem about the same to me. Maybe mora is a little better. But then again since this is a folding knife it more complex and thus easier to notice its “cheap plastic-y-ness”. Where as the mora as a fixed blade can just pour it into a single mold without having to worry about locks and screws and multiple parts etc. Hard to say on this one. Maybe ill write an updated review in another year once I see how well it holds up. Third is the price. This is where it drops half a star. The mora companion is only $15 and this one is $35. Well even though its more expensive…I only nocked off half a star because like I said when compared to other folding scandi’s this price is sweet! And the blade is thicker than the companion so maybe that’s part of the reason. Still I give cold steel major props for filling this need. Other bits: Like I said the blade is thicker and thus will hold up its edge even better as a true scandi. Yet that extra thickness didn’t stop it from loosing its razor sharpness which is sweet. Don’t know yet how good the steel is. Ill add that to the update list. But scandi grinds in general are known for keeping there edges…part of why I love them so much and looked for this knife in the first place. The knife is still kind of slim! Some of the folding scandi’s have fat handles that kind of ruin the point of it being a “pocket” knife. This one has a fairly slim profile, which I really appreciated. The locking mechanism is solid. Doesn’t feel like its going to close on me…in truth its actually kind of hard to close…which im ok with. Better to be hard to close than being loose. Pocket clip is decent can be flipped to either side of the knife. Doesn’t change the grip too much so that its uncomfortable which I was happy about. Choose the orange one and it looks great. Wouldn’t mind a black option but I couldn’t find one. The red and blue were a weird hue to me so orange it is! Hope this review helps

This knife definitely out-punches its weight class! The Scandi grind takes an edge very well as long as you understand how to sharpen it to maintain the geometry and avoid adding a bevel. I don’t have much experience with AUS-8, but I know where it is on the spec chart, so I can only assume Cold Steel has a great heat treat process that explains the performance. I did a back to back comparison with a D2 knife of a little higher price point from another manufacturer when quartering two whitetail deer. This one held its edge great through the first deer. I started the second with the D2 and switched back to this one about half way through because the D2 wasn’t cutting as well. It was still quite sharp when I finished and I’ve done a total of 4 or 5 deer with it now. It’s convenient to have a folder that does that job well and can be folded up and dealt cleaned later on without worries about corrosion. The scales aren’t going to wow anyone, but it is very mechanically sound and it excels at the job I bought it to do! Great knife for a very low price compared to many alternatives for similar performance.

This thing is a tank . Sure, it feels more delicate after using the srk1, but make no mistake, this is a reliable piece of equipment for folks who actually use their knives. For outdoors work and woodworking , the Scandi grind is great - and super easy to sharped compared to all those microscopic bevels at whatever angle that can only be seen under a microscope and sharped with a weird jig- The Finnwolf sharpens up fast on a diamond stone and strop , and you can see right away if you’re doing it right. I use it as my edc, and my ONLY complaint is the fact that it’s not deep carry, which is an issue with most cold steel knives. That’s not necessarily a bad thing , as it’s easier to access for sure- but when I pick kids up from school or go to the balloon shop, I feel a little self conscious with what’s clearly a knife sticking an inch out of my pocket. On the plus side, it’s a nice shape and doesn’t look aggressive, especially in the gentle green color. For what you get for what you pay, it’s an incredible value. I like to use my knives so this guy has been through the wringer and held up like a champ- batoning, woodcarving , mini axe work, cutting cabbages and potatoes out of the mud- not to mention feeling safe when out and about. The Tri ad lock is just amazing too- I used it in the mud to chop smaller tree roots while digging holes for planting , and I went to town to see how it would hold up. After an hour in the dirt, a quick rinse and this thing opened and closed without a problem- no blade play at all. Super impressive!

I used to favor much bigger knives than this for "just in case" situations, which so far have never happened. So, I decided to make my life easier and went with this lightweight one. I'm a fairly heavy knife user; on an average day, I probably use my pocketknife at least 20 times. Whether I'm at home, in the shop, or in my backyard, I use it for cutting sausages and bread, spreading butter, cutting air hoses, stripping wire insulation, and removing splinters from my hands. I sharpen the knife almost every other day. This knife has held up very well so far. It's easy to sharpen, the edge holds well, the blade hasn't become flimsy, and it's cheap enough that I don't worry about where and how I use or abuse it. If you need an everyday tool that will get used all the time, this is a good, solid knife. If you are one of those who religiously sharpen knives to cut paper sheets on YouTube videos, I suppose it will work for you too.

First minor dislike: Difficult to sharpen near the heel because of the opening studs. To remove the studs hold the non slotted one with padded pliers and use a number 1 flat head screwdriver to unscrew. They come apart with one stud with thread and the other internal threads. The first time they are very tight as my understanding is they are secured with lok tite. Easier after that. Like: First the pant clip can be reversed for left hand carry. Simply need a T6 torx screwdriver. This allows tip up carrywith the blade held shut by the edge of the pants for left handers. The blade comes very sharp(will cut hair) witha microbevel on the edge. For me the blade was extremely smooth to open. Once open to 90 degrees a flip of the wrist finishes. The lock if very tight and with the blade open it has the feel of a fix blade knife. One solution to the stud problem that was on the internet is to remove the studs and put in a zip lock tie with the head of the tie serving as a opening stud. My knife won't be used for batoning, and other bushcraft but simply as a replacment for an opinel to do cord cutting, opening packages, cutting cardboard etc. Can't say anything about edge retention etc. My first scandi grind knife. All the others have been flat grind which is my preference for wood carving. UPDATE: Really like the knife but really hate the Scandi Grind. The primary bevel is about 1/4 inch long and then you have a sharp jump to the full thickness of the blade like a double sided carpenters chisel. This makes the knife very poor for slicing things like cardboard. As soon as the point of the knife is through the cardboard you have the full thickness of the blade in the cut and the wedge has to push the sides of the cut as you slice through it. This creates a lot of drag. My solution. Using a 1x30 belt sander to grind from the shoulder to the back of the knife blade to create a less drastic taper. Since some of the grinding reached the original edge did a complete resharpening putting a secondary bevel on the edge also limited removal from the back so that the studs had enough metal to be completely locked down. It once again is so sharp it will cut cash register receipts with a push cut. My measure of knife sharpness. The photos above show the original grind with the finn wolf logo and the bevel. The second is after regrinding which removed the logo and lowered the wedge shape considerably. The knife now cuts cardboard much more easily. I wish the manufacturer made a flat ground version. The only knives that I could find that had flat ground folders were considerably more expensive and finding something that is ambidextrous with regards to the clip is also difficult.

Careful sharp blade
