Review: Worth the price - 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 Review: Hair cutting sharp and ambidextrous - 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. ## Features - FINN WOLF FOLDER - It's a combination of functionality, reliability, and affordability - The Finn Wolf excels in a variety of outdoor tasks, from cutting rope and preparing food to carving wood and performing everyday chores - AUS8A STEEL - The expertly heat-treated Japanese AUS8A steel has tested amazingly well over the years and has proven to be an excellent steel for working knives - tough, corrosion resistant, with good edge holding and easy to re-sharpen - GRIV-EX HANDLE - The Finn Wolf hunting folding knife features a Griv-Ex expertly contoured handle with a coarse-textured surface that ensures control during use and a comfortable, secure grip, even in challenging wet and cold conditions - TRI-AD LOCK - Equipped with Cold Steel's renowned Tri-Ad locking mechanism, the Finn Wolf folding knife offers unparalleled strength and shock resistance; This locking mechanism enhances the knife's reliability and safety during heavy-duty tasks - SPECS - Weight: 3.4 oz (96.4 g); Blade Thickness: 3 mm; Blade Length: 3.5"; Blade Steel: AUS8A; Handle Length/Material: 4.375" Griv-Ex; Overall Length: 7.875"; Knife Type: Folder; Blade Shape: Straight Back; Locking Mechanism: Tri-Ad Lock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00U1I875Q | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #32,329 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #111 in Camping Folding Knives | | Blade Edge | Compound Bevel | | Blade Length | 3.5 inches | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Shape | Straight Back | | Blade Type | Straight Back | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | OD Green Boxed | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,435 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442013570 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | OD Green Griv-Ex | | Included Components | Ambidextrous Pocket / Belt Clip | | Item Length | 8.4 inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | FOLDER KNIFE | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Model Name | Finn Wolf OD Green | | Model Number | CS-20NPF | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 20NPF | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Hunting | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 3.5" | | Special Feature | Foldable | | Special Features | Foldable | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 705442013570 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.

I was skinning some osage orange suckers with thorns, and popping the thorns off did manage to cause some small chips in the edge. It hasn't seriously impacted the knifes function for wood processing and fire starting, and will probably clean up nicely when I get around to it. I use the hell out of this knife and it is holding up far better than expected for $50 invested. **Q: Is it american made** A: The short answer, no.The long answer... This question is one asked from generally well intended desire to "buy American". While I appreciate that desire and goal, the times we live in make this and many other goods questions far more complex. In today's global economy there definitely still are knife makers that build excellent quality goods right here in America - but - and this is an important 'but' - the nature of the product that they make is significantly different from that of the 1900's through the 60's. Nowadays there's no room for poorly made products in our country, in fact, even very well made products carry a premium cost of being made in the US to the extent that makers here must offer value beyond materials and labor. So then, made in the USA knives are in one of three categories: 1. American made heritage and workhorse value - take for example KaBar's military fighting knives and their Becker division offer these, respectively, and command a high price... further, not all of KaBar or Becker knife offerings are made in the USA, only their core products as described.2. Traditional Collector-Grade Pocket Knives or Hand Made Exotics - Great Eastern Cutlery and Queen Cutlery are two names that manufacture by hand and sell very well made traditional pocket knifes of many limited run patterns and handle materials to collectors and users... they are expensive, but beautiful in craftsmanship and utility... but nothing like the truly exotic hand made items that can be found for sale by individual knife makers. 3. Individual knife makers who forge and build excellent fixed blade and folding knives on a limited run basis where designs are focused on best in class utility for certain tasks. Prices for this 3rd class of American made product fall in the $100 to $300 range depending on size and materials. Some of these makers are famous names in knife making carrying the trade forward from past experts. In this class, too, is some of Spyderco's knives, those made proudly in Golden Colorado - some would call these made for collectors, but many owners would say they use these proudly daily. Now on the other hand, Spyderco has long manufactured excellent folding knives in Japan using leading edge Japanese steels like VG10 and now truly rust-proof H1, and more recently in Italy using Europe's excellent N690Co steel. These knives are excellent in every way, and reasonable in price, but not cheap in any sense. So, too, has been the experience of famed knife-maker A.J. Russell, whose designs are renown. Some of his designs are made here with limited production and high value and price while most of his custom designed knives are produced in limited runs in China in key facilities that produce knives of the highest in quality in materials and workmanship.So then, American knife making is alive and well, but the focus is not large volume, but lower volume collectability or to meet lower demands of niche needs of serious hunters and outdoorsmen; and American knife design is alive and well, with key, famed designers and firms leveraging manufacturing volume and quality around the world to product excellent products. Sure there are cheaply made products from various countries, but knowledgeable buyers/users know the difference while glitz, gadget, and tactical fans often do not. Finally there are excellent knives with long tradition made in many countries - the Scandi-Ground knives from Finland, Norway, and Sweden are one example ("The Mora" and Helle Knives), the Opinel folding knife from France is another.Turning back to the Cold Steel Finn Wolf. This design addresses a desire that many outdoorsmen who simply love their Mora and Helle scandi-grind bushcrafter-outdoorsmen knives have for a folding version that would be equally as strong, equally as sharp, equally as useful in the outdoors. Cold Steel (US Company) has a reputation and practice of re-envisioning famous design styles found all over the world, and here attempts to do so with the scandi-ground knife. The Taiwan factories that make Cold Steel products can produce rugged knives with incredible sharpness, and the Cold Steel Finn Wolf is an example of this. I've taken the stud off mine - adding it as if this was a tactical one-hand opening folder was silly. The true scandi-grind, not too thick excellent AUS8A steel, and incredible Triad-Lock make a good effort at capturing this concept. Scandinavian makers Eka, Helle, and Enzo also have products to offer, but their price tag is 2x to 4x higher, reflecting lower volume and handle materials that are elegant and expensive. The Cold Steel Finn Wolf is a hard worker and good value at its price, but it, too, must compete with its inspiration, the famous Mora fixed blade knife, which sells for less than $20. But for camping and backpacking I choose to put the Cold Steel Finn Wolf folder in my pocket - it's strong enough to split wood by batoning, with sharp enough edge geometry to carve feather sticks, or fillet fish and cut veggies for meal prep, and saw up your steak dinner... and if I loose it I'm not out $60 to $100 or more, and I'm not wearing a fixed blade in a sheath while I'm walking around everywhere. Design of this knife and materials - American... made in a renown, high quality facility in Taiwan. **Q: Does it have a lock?** A: Triad lock , one of the strongest locks on a lock blade design to date... Which sometimes you'll get one that's a little harder to manipulate till it's "broke in" ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the price *by B***E on April 13, 2026* This is a good knife but be mindful of what you cut.

Wanted one forever. Sturdy, easy to sharpen scandi ground edge and small enough to be comfortable in a pocket. Slow and clumsy to deploy for big hands, but that's not what this knife is all about. I like it. For most anyone this is enough knife. I like it. Locks up nice and tight. A great first knife for a kid or most anyone. Huge bargain when on sale. ## Frequently Bought Together - COLD STEEL Finn Wolf 3.5in AUS8A Razor-Sharp Straight Back Blade 4.375in Griv-Ex OD Green Handle Hunting Folding Knife, Boxed - Cold Steel SR1 Lite 8Cr14MoV Steel 4" Blade Griv-Ex Handle Tactical Self-Defense Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Locking Mechanism, Pocket/Belt Clip - COLD STEEL Pocket Bushman 4.5" 4116SS Clip Point Blade 5.75" 420SS Handle Everyday Carry Hunting Folding Knife w/Ram Safe Lock --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/15582082-cold-steel-finn-wolf-3-5in-aus8a-razor-sharp-straight](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/15582082-cold-steel-finn-wolf-3-5in-aus8a-razor-sharp-straight) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
