Who makes Craftsman knives

The 110 knock-off was probably made by Schrade. I think Camillus has also made knives for Sears. There are Buck 300 series knives out in existence with Sears/Buck shields and blades interchanged. In other words, a knife with a Buck shield and the blade is stamped Sears. I have seen these and they are evidence of Camillus mistakes while making contract knives for both entities.
Better yet, there is a guy who usually shows up in Atlanta at the Blade Show with a Buck 311 knife frame bladed with a Case blade. He swears (and I believe him) that the knife came into their family hardwood store in that condition with a load of new knives. If this is true, it is evidence that Camillus also made contract knives for Case. I have been told that Case denies this but because of the 311 I have seen and the sincerity of the gentleman who owns the knife, I think Case DID have contract knives made by Camillus.
Can any of you add to this?
 
That 311 always causes a little commotion! Those types of variations are what makes collecting fun. I have a Remmington Tuxedo knife in MOP with a Buck, 305 main blade. Go figure.
