What year/s were these knives made. Got it for $14 bucks and it's a little ripper!

Dating a Camco knife is even harder than dating a Camillus.
They only used one tang stamp for Camco knives from 1948 when they introduced a line until they went out of business in 2007.
There were some Camco's made in Ireland in the mid-1980s; of course that stamp is different, but all the US-made Camco's use the same tang stamp.
You have to look at other things that might indicate the date that knife was made, for example the handle material. Your handle material appears to be Delrin which did not come into use as knife handles until approx. 1960 so, we can date your knife circa 1960 to 2007 when Camillus closed.
