FINN WOLF

GREAT NEW L/W EDC-SMALLER AND HANDIER KNIFE WITH A RAZORS EDGE-PERFECT FOR BATHING SUIT OR JOG SHORTS-LIGHT ENOUGH TO SLEEP WITH-SOLID LOCK-UP !!!! THANKS !!!

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 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

Super sharp. Looks well. Clunky but for the price.... If Morakniv made a folder, this would be it. 100% functional. I have several other knives in this price range that are nicer, but this a working knife that I wouldn't hesitate to use for nasty work. 2 hands to fold with clumsy lock

This review is for cold steel's Finn Wolfe edc knife with green scales. The strong triad lock opens easily with a satisfying "click* and likewise closes with a solid "thunk." The knife is well engineered with quality build. It is ergonomic, fitting a medium or large hand well. The very sharp Scandia blade holds up well in hard use such as cutting wood. The knife is an ideal size snd blade configuration. It is a good value, well worth the$. I like the green handle and recommend this knife for hard use.

Cold Steel makes working knives at a fair price. If you want a figit toy buy a Kizer or Civivi. The Finn Wolf is a real knife that you can EDC everyday. It also has the strongest lock in the industry.

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.

This is a complete edit of my review; and I am not changing the ratings, just the information. This knife is a rare find, for a pocket knife. It's a true zero degree Scandinavian grind. A hard find in the pocket knife world. (This is mostly found in bushcraft fixed blades.) The spine is ALMOST 90° out the box. Out the box, you're not sparking a Ferro rod. I would take away a star for that, but the knife is too unique and niche. I sanded down my spine to a true 90° for ferro rods. The metal used isn't the greatest, but it's respectable. The sharping process is also different then most users experiences. The metal can be argued all day if this was social media. What can't be argued is the blade angle and sharping. The only warning I would give other people is that this blade is a 0° grind. With that said, sharpening this blade takes a different approach than normal 20°ish knives. Final assessment; IMO this knife lands in every bag I pack. It's light, it's bright (mine is orange) and it can fill a gap usually held by my Morakniv survival to save space. **Note: I have a well established inventory of knives. I have options. This is a knife I highly recommend based on how I would use it. I like to carry a Scandinavian grind at all times. If I want to reduce weight and volume, this is phenomenal!!

Careful sharp blade

ESTE ES UNO DE LOS MODELOS MÁS CONOCIDOS Y PROBADOS DE COLD STEEL LA FINN WOLF, LIGERA Y SUPER FILOSA ALTAMENTE RECOMENDABLE

This was the only folding scandi grind knife I could find. Good quality I am able to all the Alone bushcraft stuff.
