Looks like the Benchmade Panther. Pocket clip would have been under the pivot screw.

Hey thank you for responding do you know how old it may be and do you think the pivot screw and pocket clip are available to repair it. Thanks again.

Welcome to the forum Mitchell!
It is a Benchmade Panther 401S in ATS-34. It sports the early Benchmade Balisong Butterfly logo. There were a number of knives made in the 400 series. These were manufactured in the early 1990s in the Clackamas Oregon facility.
It would be very difficult to find a pivot and clip for it due to the age of the knife. You could always try contacting Benchmade CS and asking if they have the parts available, although I doubt they would have any stock left.
If you really want to restore it your best bet would be to check on the second hand market as they are still available. You might even find one new in the box.
Here's a used one with the clip and pivot...
Benchmade Panther 401S on the bay.
Good luck with your search and hope to see you posting more in the forum!
