Yes, I know this is not new news. It's just a reminder to be careful out there.

News to me Jerry, and thanks. Who owns the name now? Was Coleman. Has anyone else seen the decent bone handled Coleman knives stamped Seki Japan?

Yes. I guess I didn't make my red arrow large enough in the bottom picture.
As I understand it, Camillus purchased the Western brand from Coleman (sometime in the '90s??). As Vit said, both brands are owned by Acme United.
Okie -- That's why I posted this. There may be others out there who are not aware.

What arrow? Well, I always made it a point to buy Western knives marked Boulder Colo.Hmmm… and then the old Camillus building burns down
and now all of the names owned by Camillus now owned by ACME popping up in China…. Kinda fishy. Lame to say the least

Bottom picture of the back of the packaging. Lower left hand corner. Click on the picture a couple of times and blow it up or put your reading specs on.
