What do I have a 65 ?

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

From your description it sounds like a stockman with what are called by collectors "Butter and Molasses" celluloid handles. The long underline "Camillus" tang stamp would put its manufacture in the 1950's - 1960's most likely. The stockman pattern is a very common pattern that usually has a clip blade for a master and with one of either a sheepfoot, a spey, a pen, or a punch for the other two blades.

You might check with Tom Williams.
He may have some blades and he may even repair them.
PM me for contact info.
