You can find information about knife patterns, age identification, etc by clicking on Research in the header at the top of this page. Scroll down to find the section about Case knives. Lots of learning available there.
Welcome to AAPK. We would like to see pictures of your knife!

Here's what you've told us with its tang stamps:
6 = bone, delrin made to look like bone, or the material I've seen most often on these knives, laminated wood handle sides
1 = single blade
65 = large Folding Hunter
L = lock back
SAB that you misread as SAR = saber ground blade
SSP = stainless steel blade and springs and edge polished to make it sharper
Starting in 1970 tang stamps have a date code. Thats about all that's left to "identify." Is Case in cursive an etch on the blade?

Yes it is a 6165 SAB DR L SS, lockback folding hunter with Pakkawood handles. Introduced in 1977 and discontinued in 1990.
