Help with model ID

I picked this up a long time ago as part of a package deal. I do not know balisongs well but the other knives were good so I didn't give it any thought. I rediscovered it recently and would like to sell it but I forgot what model I was told. It has a box and bag but the label is missing from the box. I looked closer and it seems to have taken some abuse so I'm wonder if I have a clone. I surfed around and cannot find an exact match and what pictures I do see show differences that bother me.

Based on the pictures, can anyone tell what model and if it's authentic?

Thanks
JC III

Looks to "crude" to be real. However, Im no bali expert. I could be completely wrong.

Thanks for the determination and advice. If you don't mind answering, what tipped you off? I'm no bali expert but the mangled pins and poor machining is what first made me think all was not right.

Be careful not to give information on what makes a fake a fake. It's always the best to guide a new enthusiast to authorized dealers and Benchmade to better ensure safe, reliable, authentic products.

Thanks.
