A Camillus from the 1970’s? I can’t tell if it is bone or delrin.
That's older, 1940's or 50's. Post war no line stamp, bone. 14 pattern?
I am back with the schrade made craftsman 9554 whittler. It's a great tool.

Nice knife Travman
. Pretty hard to tell ( I couldn't say) what handle material it is. You could poke it with a red hot pin, or have a good look at it using a jeweller's loupe or a microscope.Edited to add: thechunk91 knows.

Definitely Rogers Bone judging by the pin crack and jigging.
Very nice !

Travman, I'm with Paul and Steve on this one, definitely bone, although I'm not sure about a pin crack. My guess is from the 1950s, as in this Camillus tang stamp chart there is a gap between the 1946-'50 photo and the 1960-'70s one, and there is NO photo which shows your CAMILLUS over NEW YORK stamp without a line under CAMILLUS.

My investigation of the Camillus stamp has taken another turn. I blew up the pictures in the 1954 catalog and came up with this: looks the same as Travman's, without a line under Camillus.

There is not a date range I know of for the no line stamp, but assumptions point to early post war era. I have seen the stamp on knives in the wild and interestingly it's used on the images of knives in the 1946 catalog.
