Cold Steel Finn Wolf AUS-8A Folding Knife - Olive

Folding knife inspired by the traditional Puukko knife, engineered for everyday carry (EDC), and designed by Andrew Demko and Lynn C. Thompson. Outfitted with a Straight Back blade forged from AUS-8A stainless steel, the knife delivers a combination of corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and long-lasting edge retention. The olive handle utilizes Griv-Ex composite with a secure non-slip texture. Equipped with a double-sided thumb stud for ambidextrous blade deployment and featuring the Tri-Ad Lock for enhanced safety during use.

AUS-8A steel

Featuring a blade forged from Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel, this model offers a well-balanced blend of attributes. Users benefit from high corrosion resistance, excellent impact resistance, and easy sharpening, allowing for swift edge restoration in the field. Following proper heat treatment, the steel consistently reaches 58–60 HRC, ensuring reliable cutting efficiency and long-lasting durability.

Straight Back blade, Scandi grind

The Straight Back blade is designed with a length of 89 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. Featuring a zero Scandi grind, the cutting edge utilizes a flat grind that extends straight to the edge, eliminating any micro-bevel. Such blade geometry ensures precise material guidance and makes edge maintenance swift and efficient.

Ergonomically shaped Griv-Ex grip, tip-up clip

The handle features a robust construction from Griv-Ex glass-filled nylon composite. Ergonomically contoured, it ensures a secure grip, and the non-slip texture maximizes control and stability, even when hands are wet.

A spring clip facilitates convenient everyday carry, allowing secure attachment to a belt or pocket edge. The clip is reversible for tip-up orientation, making it ideal for both left- and right-handed users.

Tri-Ad Lock mechanism, double-sided stud

Equipped with a Tri-Ad Lock system, recognized as one of the toughest locking mechanisms for folding knives. The lock utilizes a stop pin to absorb the force from the blade, efficiently transferring it into the handle and minimizing wear. Over time, the mechanism automatically adjusts itself to ensure secure and dependable locking.

A double-sided stud allows effortless deployment of the blade, ensuring comfortable handling for both right- and left-handed users.

AUS-8A feature
AUS-8A
AUS-8A is a Japanese stainless steel, equivalent to 440B steel, characterized by a good balance between corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and edge retention. The carbon content (0.7-0.75%) affects the hardness of the steel, while chromium (13-14.5%) provides very good corrosion and abrasion resistance. Vanadium additives (up to 0.26%) improve the homogeneity of the steel's crystal structure and increase the blade's resistance to abrasion. The steel also contains molybdenum (0.1-0.3%), manganese (0.5%), silicon (0.4-1%), and nickel (0.49%). After proper heat treatment, AUS-8 steel achieves a hardness of 58-60 HRC, making it a solid material with good cutting properties and durability. The steel is widely used in mid-range knives, mainly produced in Japan and Taiwan, such as the popular Ontario RAT 1.
Tri-Ad Lock feature
Tri-Ad Lock
Tri-Ad Lock is a lock developed by Cold Steel and Andrew Demko, considered one of the strongest systems in folding knives. Its key element is a stop pin, which takes the pressure from the blade and distributes it to the handle, protecting the lock from wear and overload. The mechanism is designed to self-adjust over time, which maintains the reliability of the lock even after prolonged use. In tests, it has proven resistant to loads of up to hundreds of pounds, confirming its durability.
Griv-Ex feature
Griv-Ex
Griv-Ex is a durable glass-nylon composite reinforced with fiberglass used by Cold Steel, mainly for the production of knife handles, and in some models also for blade components. The material has a textured surface on the handles, which ensures a secure, non-slip grip, and its maintenance usually boils down to simple washing under running water. Griv-Ex is distinguished by its resistance to moisture, corrosion, mechanical damage, and extreme temperatures, and does not warp or crack under harsh conditions. When used in the construction of blades, it is additionally stabilized by UV rays and heat, which further increases its durability.

    Great folder with a scandi grind, cuts wood like butter. I chose this color because it's easy to find if dropped in the grass, for example. The mechanics, as always with CS, are perfect.
