I am having a hard time finding Western Knives in my area. Somebody just told me that he believes Western folded a few years ago.

What's the story?

Western did indeed fold several years ago. Camillus bought out the trademark and machinery, and last I checked still produces some of Western's more popular designs.

My most recent Nut Mission is to buy a Western Model W84. I have one for over twenty years and use it regularly for hunting, and it is the 'go-to' knife for tough kitchen cutting. But I have found that Western isn't around as much as before. I guess I'll check the auction sites, unless someone here has one to surrender.
