Welcome Foam. You have a cool knife. I'd post it in our Buck sub-forum. They should be able to help..

Nice HOK, Foam guy!
Wouldn't it be cool if it was owned by Chuck Buck, assuming that's what you were referring to.
You're new here so it's understandable you don't know your way around just yet, but if you read the title of this thread "Show off your fixed blades!", you can see it's for fixed blade knives not folding knives, so for future reference you want to post in the appropriate threads. It's not a problem, just thought you'd wanna know!
to AAPK!

My latest gamble on the bay. The knife barely resembles the one I wanted. By the time knife arrived there had been 2 or 3 different email addresses used and probably 3 different mailing addresses. The Knife finally arrived from NY city but I'm quite sure it was made in Pakistan.

I'm not a hand writing expert but that signature looks the same and is etched in the same manner as the signature on my Buck canoe/moose pictured below (sorry the photo doesn't show the signature very well, I'll try to get a better shot when I get time). Without close examination I'd say yours looks authentic. Folks on the Buck collectors thread may be able to give you a more knowledgeable answer.

Thanks for the compliments on the Western W36 guys. I've always liked the lines of this model, especially the pommel. Does anyone know how to date a Western knife? As far as I can tell it was made between 1990 and 2007. The tang stamp is WESTERN over U.S.A. W36. The knife looks to have been cleaned and/or restored but I'm not sure. The finish on the blade, aluminum guard and pommel is almost a satin type finish with very fine vertical sand/polish lines. I remember this model as having a near mirror finish on those parts. Also the spine of the blade is flat with a very crisp 90 degree angle from the blade. I'd like to find an original sheath as well or at least a WESTERN sheath that fits. If it has been restored, they did a good job. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Finally finished a "preservation restoration" on my WWII Cattaraugus 225Q. I picked this knife up 4 years ago, and have stared at it trying to decide how I wanted to fix it up. It was missing 5 of the stacked leather discs on the handle, it was very rusty and had been sharpened very poorly over the years. But the good part was that it was mostly fixable, so I decided to keep as much original as possible, while preserving it for future generations. So, here she is in all her glory. I replaced the leather discs with some old leather from a belt I had, cleaned the rust, sharpened her up and hopefully it will live another 80 years..

Here's a cool little knife I just got off Amazon.

Nice! Looks to be just about right for just throwing in your pocket and getting to work.

Looking at Amazon, it's a Sanremu product. If it's anything like my 7010, it's definitely excellent bang for your buck. If only I hadn't blown my hobby budget and thensome on tools this month.

Good looking Catt Kerry! The blade is in great shape, and not sharpened away. You did a very nice restoration!

Thanks Tony! It's quite a stout old knife. I read the pommel was used as a hammer to nail crates shut. I also read that the leather on the handle was made in a way that it was different levels so it wouldn't slip when it was wet. Not the prettiest girl at the dance, but she sure can cook!

Pakistan 4 sure .looks like a genuine goat hide sheath ! I’m surprised. that it doe not have the fancy Damascus steel blade ? I might trade you this one with the fancy Damascus blade camel bone , and a thicker camel hide sheath if you will throw in some boot on the deal .

Your knife was made after camillus bought out western Coleman ( late 1991-2007 ) , the Coleman fixed blade knifes all had a letter of the alphabet starting with A for date codes stamped on the tang under U.SA. W36 (1984 -early 1991).also the pommel style was changed .

Western Coleman (D 1987 )
