This 863 came with the original box. It required no cleaning as it is in NEAR MINT condition (the knife). I took some pictures and here's the knife and the box.
Great catch ::tu:: ::tu::

Picked up an Excelsior knife to go with the box I got several months ago,the end of the master blade was rough so I had to reprofile it a bit.Blades still have pretty good snap.
