I looked around on a couple of the balisong web sites but I couldn't find any information on my model. I recently sent it in to Benchmade to have it sharpened, have the rivets tightened, and to get info on the model. Benchmade did sharpen the knife but they did not tighten down the handles. They said they no longer had the ability to do so. They also did not provide me with information about the model other than the #. On the form returned with the knife was printed model 259. The knife has black (plastic?) inserts, is 5.25 inches closed, and has the weehawk style blade, I believe. It says Benchmade USA on one side of the blade and pictures a buttlerly and the word bali-song on the other side of the blade. It is in good condition other than some corrosion of the latch. It was played with some years ago. Hasn't seen action for a long time. I have none of the original paperwork. I would like to know what it is worth, the length of production, etc. I would appreciate any information anyone can provide. Thank you.
 
there you have it sir.. a model 259 =) it is poart of BM's economy Zamak series.. It was worth 30.00 I think then and at new condition it goes for twice that.
