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 | B01AALWCFE | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #50,317 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #82 in Folding Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Flat | | Blade Length | 2 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Straight Back | | Blade Type | Straight | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | OD Green Blister Pack | | Customer Package Type | Tamper-Evident, Cushioned | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,443 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442014300 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Griv-Ex | | Included Components | Knife | | Item Length | 8.75 inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | Cold Steel, Finn Wolf, 3.5" Folding Knife, Plain Edge, AUS 8AStainless, Pocket Clip | | Item Weight | 0.1 kg | | Manufacturer | GSM LLC | | Model Name | Cold Steel | | Model Number | 308612 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 308612 | | Power Source | AC/DC | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Outdoor tasks, hunting, carving, and everyday chores | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 2" | | Special Feature | Manual | | Special Features | Manual | | Style | Modern | | Theme | Military | | UPC | 705442014300 | | Unit Count | 1 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Cold Steel - **Color:** OD Green Blister Pack - **Handle Material:** Griv-Ex - **Included Components:** Knife - **Model Name:** Cold Steel - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Outdoor tasks, hunting, carving, and everyday chores - **Special Feature:** Manual - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Finn Wolf 3.5in AUS8A Razor-Sharp Straight Back Blade 4.375in Griv-Ex OD Green Handle Hunting Folding Knife, Blister Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61X8W2+L2sL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the price *by B***E on April 13, 2026* 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hair cutting sharp and ambidextrous *by J***R on September 22, 2024* 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.

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, Blister Pack - Cold Steel Medium Luzon 4" 8Cr13MoV Razor-Sharp Clip Point Blade 5" GFN Handle Tactical EDC Folding Knife w/Leaf-Spring Lock - Cold Steel AD-15 Lite 3.5" AUS10A Steel Ultra-Sharp Blade 5" Griv-Ex Handle Tactical Folding Knife - Scorpion Lock, Pocket/Belt Clip --- ## 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.jp/products/25713699-finn-wolf-3-5in-aus8a-razor-sharp-straight-back-blade](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/25713699-finn-wolf-3-5in-aus8a-razor-sharp-straight-back-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
