Here's a couple of 863 variants I picked up recently. An Ulster 63 and a Craftsman 9494. Even the "jigging" indentations molded into the handles are identical.

Nice knives
Here a few pictures of 863 variants.It's not that hard to see the difference between the Schrade 863 and the Camillus clones.The best way is the shape of the bolsters.
There is also a scout knife made by Imperial.

Wow, it's been 9 years since I last posted on this thread! :lol:

I picked up another Camillus 72 / Schrade 863 variation - an Olsen 107. Pretty sure this was made by Schrade for Olsen. Very nice swedge on this one.

Just picked up this Holloinger Fremont - appears to me that it was made by Ulster, circa 1950's to 60's.
