Cold steel finnwolf folder

Somebody somewhere incorrectly stated that the FinnBear is the fixed blade version of the FinnWolf.....

Anybody notice there's now really a fixed blade version complete with green handle and 4116 blade steel? Name escapes me....

Well......after much huffing and puffing my new and hopefully undamaged Finn Wolf is in town.
Along with big brother Viking Hand Axe

Finances were just starting to look up

The Finnwolf cuts, the Viking Hand Axe has no edge

that way you can choose your edge angle

Not a problem, just didn't expect it from the few reviews I saw.

Next time you see it, it will not be the same

Its not the prettiest design, but it sure gets the job done

I don't have that many folders, and not much experience with comparable knives, but I like the simplicity and how beefy the blade looks when closed.
I found 1 grip where its not comfortable, doing a reverse pull cut the end of the handle digs into my palm. That part is obviously there to cover the tip, so the only alternative is a different blade shape or a much more bulky handle........so I don't mind at all.
I like that it fits great even in my large hands.
I'm not sure if you can refer to detent with this lock type, but the blade retention could maybe be relaxed a bit.
Maybe the finger guillotine action keeps you careful

Great knife, but their collective clutch slipped a bit with the design, those two knobbies at the end of the handle is just stupid.

Taking them off might mean some danger from the tip, they should've just slightly filled in that area.

This blade and grind have been great. Got a little wood working in today out in the woods.

You're exactly right. Great description, I had wood chips just flying everywhere.
