Best two bucks a knifer can spend IMO.

Good son-in-law.

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!

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.

There are a "few" more CAMILLUS 72 "VARIATIONS", "WANNABES", and "LOOKALIKES" posted here:

Thanks Skip. I haven't been collecting many knives the last few years. I will dig through that thread - looks interesting!

You're welcome, Mike.
PLEASE feel free to post ALL your CAMILLUS 72 variations, wannabes,
and lookalikes, under that topic or thread. The more, the merrier.

A looker there Unk. And wonderful condition. Congrats.

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

Nice one, Steve. Those don't seem to pop up very often.
