Here are some 885/886 UH four inch stockman knives with a few motley tang stamps.

Hey TR, can you tell if the stockman with the S.C.C.+ tang stamp is made with the swenden key system? Seems I remember someone telling me that Camillus made Schrade knives that carry that stamp, and they will have a different pull on the blade and fewer pins in the handles. I don't know that to be fact, nor can I remember who it was that told me that.

Aimus, this 886, and its little brother the 898 are not made with Swinden key construction. Your informant was probably Dale Vincent, AKA Orvet.

Hi all,
I just happen to have that thread bookmarked from a search some time ago.

Since then I have managed to get one each of the 898 and 886; they are pretty, pretty neat, and slightly different from their siblings.
Regards,
OG

From the thread OldGoat posted. Notice the 886UH Keith posted has a Camillus/Ulster swedge on the clip blade. I have an 886UH with more of a Schrade looking blade, like the one Calvin has post in the original post.
