I got this knife from my Grandmother as a gift many moons ago (over 30 years ago) and was curious if someone might be able to tell me the model and the value. There are no other markings on the knife except for the butterfly as seen in the picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That looks like a Benchmade 42, I'm not an expert in Balisong knives but that would be my guess. I don't think the 42 is quite 30 years old though.
 
I'm pretty sure it's a Benchmade model 10. But there's only one pic and they both look the same.
 
Here's a couple pics from a 1990 & 91 catalog. I'm not very knowledgeable on the Balis but it looks like the 30 to me. The 10 & 68 have a drop point blade, the 30 & 35 have the weehawk blade. The 30 has the exposed pivot pins and the 35 has hidden pins.

Cool and this is why I love forum sites. I agree with Corey, it looks like the 30. I love the knife but wish it had a clip on it for EDC. Thanks for the information, it is greatly appreciated.
