That appears to be a Model 800 AFCK (Advanced Folding Combat Knife) from the early 90's. Blade steel is Hitachi ATS-34, a very close relative to 154CM. That knife of yours has seen a lot of use, as intended. Good first posting, Welcome to the Forum!

Ah if only knives could talk, that one may have some tales to tell. Care to share any stories about how it may have been used or where it may have traveled to?
