Finn Wolf Folding Knife From Cold Steel - A Great Blade To Own 

Great job on the video George 👍👍👍

Nice barn yard knife for sure!

The Finn Wolf is a solid knife for the outdoors. The shape, size and thickness of the blade makes this knife durable. The grind is one that is almost perfect for camp and woodscraft chores. The handle shape provides good grip and lock in with the hand. The Tri-Ad lock is sure and adds confidence that this knife will not close up until you want it to. I have the OD Green version and the Tri-Ad lock was very “sticky” at first. You couldn’t hardly close the blade when that lock was engaged. But with a little rim oil and some use it loosened up so that it is now a one hand closer. Thanks for all the effort that you put into each episode.

Awesome Review and thanks for the Shout out! I do enjoy your channel and I like SPAM also!! Especially fried in the skillet…LOL

I've been looking at that model since they released it. Sometimes when cold steel sends me there catalog I'm overwhelmed lol I bought a rat 1 instead lol. Everything I've purchased from cold steel, for almost 40yr has held up well somethings have changed since the owner retired. Well done George !

i love finn wolf

Loads of room for improvement I like the blade shape Price is reasonable Nice knife definitely needs a sheath George 👍🏻

Love your vids bro! I just ordered a yellow sheath, yellow and dala red morakniv! Lashing it to the jondeer lawn tractor is the plan. Almost lost my mora companion carbon green kniv. Thot a yellow vine and bale twine cutter. May stop the moles from pick pocketing me on potty break! Lol

its a great knife - i like it to - i might dye the handle black - but its a great outdoor knife - and great for carving - beautiful blade

When I was in the market for a Scandi ground folder it came down to this Finn Wolf and the EKA Swede (a Swede Wolf if you will). The Swede had a wooden scales option and I don't care for thumb studs or pocket clips so the Swede it was. Don't regret it for a second, the Swede is a beautifully put together knife of great quality but don't think I'd have regretted buying the Finn Wolf either, it looks like a solid option.

Hey George! Paused at the 4:36 mark to comment. #1 - Absolutely think you're a cool dude and I love your back story. #2 - I rarely watch many of your vids because most of your pieces are sadly, "Made in China." Just can't do it. *haha* But it's nothing personal to you at all. I saw the title of this and thought "Yesssss!!! FINALLY!" So I clicked. I'm going to give you a tip, not many know this nor do this....cuz everyone's different. But back in the day, yearssss ago. When I picked up the CS Recon1. The clip felt a bit funny on my hand. Not too bad. But still. But what I did, was I had CS send me ANOTHER pocket clip. I installed that. What it did, was that it COMPLETELY balanced the knife into my hand. I absolutely could NOT BELIEVE IT. It took every pic of pressure/weird feeling - of the one pocket clip, and distributed it throughout my entire hand by having one clip on each side. Problem solved! PLUS - fun fact : It makes those CS knives look even cooler with the 2 clips, and of course.....depending on your day/circumstances etc. you can put it in either pocket. It's just a fantastic fix and it made me wonder why Lynne never did that, I should have written him a letter and pic. Oh well. But that piece you have there. Any CS knife made in Taiwan is basically as good and well put together as any shop/company doing it here in the US. Lynne knew what he was doing by cutting some cost and passing it on to his customers. The AUS8A - actually used to be considered a "Super Steel" back in the day. CS does an incredible job in the heat treating of their 8A steel. It's a very forgiving steel and won't chip and it's easy to bring to a razor's edge. Just wanted to say 'Hey George!" You have a fantastic folder there and it'll last two lifetimes and you just cannot beat their Tri-Ad back lock by Demco. Be good. Edit : I now see what you're saying with the lock. That is NORMAL for the Tri-Ad. It's STIFF STIFF STIFF when you first get it. It needs to be manipulated and those parts need to wear in and they will. It'll be the best locking knife you own and that is a fact. Iirc what folks do...and I did too. Is overnight, again iirc....open that piece just a tad. You'll feel the tension on the spring. LEAVE IT OPEN when you are sleeping. It will break in that spring quicker and be easier on you, then consistently opening and closing x 100 a day. You can put a couple dabs of a good oil down in the lock and just hold the blade firmly....and open and close it....back and forth, without closing the knife shut. Understand? I'm sure other Tri-Ad CS owners will agree. Incredible locking mechanism George and as it breaks in, it simply keeps getting smoother and smoother and stronger and stronger because the two pieces that make up the lock seat together deeper. You'll be fine! :o)

I've been checkin his channel!! He's good, I like to watch him!! Fwolf might be a good all around blade!!

Thanks for another informative review. I looked at the Finn Wolf, but ended up getting a Gerber Mansfield to add a Scandi folder to the toolbox. Both looked like good choices, then Gerber offered the Mansfield at a good price on their summer sale.

Awesome! Good stuff as always brother👊🏻

Griv is probably short for grivory.. Grivory is some sort of synthetic ivory and Cold Steel has used it on all sorts of things, not just knife handles. Their Sharky, Torpedo, and a couple more items are made of grivory. I've seen cream colored grivory that had been etched with a light grain, then polished, for cane handles as well as pistol grips.. As such, I really thought it was ivory until I was told different. Great vid!

The Finn Wolf is a good blade. I don’t like the stubs as they get in the way of sharpening, and the plastic handle I expected to break, but it never has. Mine is paired with the Finn Hawk fixed blade. You aught to try that one out. (Hey, just maybe I can sell you a knife!) The Finn Hawk and Finn Wolf make a great pair. Like always, love your video!

That Tri-Ad lock is one hell of a lockup. I have the blue one. The blade performs beautifully. My Ontario RAT knives are also made in Taiwan. I will take Taiwan over China any day. I am not a huge fan of the plastic handle, but as a solid folding bushcraft knife it works well.

Never owned a CS knife. Looks good buddy. ❤

i love that sheath and leather handle sleeve for finn bear,you are awesome craftsman

I have the finn hawk one of my most used knives you got to try the h Finn hawk if you like the bear and the wolf I'm also about to pick up a Finn wolf

Looks like a good knife George. I have found some knives made in Taiwan have a little better steel and workmanship than knives made in China. Take care.

Why not take the Pocket Clip off and make one of your nice Leather Pouch for it.

Now, you could wrap that handle in leather and then realize that you can't open the knife.

Been seeing some stuff about the Finn Wolf! Checked em out and the price is definately attractive!!!! Anything Cold Steel has to be sharp and durable! I’m a Cold steel fan! Thanks for sharing this George!!!

😎 Love the Coldsteel! The fin wolf is an excellent budget blade. IMO! The tri-add lock should get smoother with time! Press lock bar a hundred times then lock & unlock blade ,several hundred times & it should be a lot smoother! If you feel frisky after that, clean internals, polish brass washers & add a little dab of grease to the pivot. If you want to deploy fast & one hand out of pocket, check0ut Snaggletooth MF/tactical. ✌️🤟🤙
