Ok, looking around online I'm pretty sure this is a Bali-Song Model #30. I purchased it from a cutlery & gift shop back in the 90s. Some of what I'm finding as I look around adds "SPL" to the model number - does anyone know what that means, or how to tell if this knife is the SPL version?

I'm not sure why the images aren't showing up, but if you go to the imgur link at the end it has all of them.

You are correct in that it is a model 30. The model 30 has a permanent latch pin, the 30-SPL had a removable screw in the latch pin so the latch could be removed if desired and was a numbered release of 100.
 
Perfect, thank you! Looks like this knife is rare enough that it may even be worth more than I originally paid for it, which is kind of fun. Great knife, anyway.

Cheers.
