Need help identifying a knife

[Grub Master]

I need help identifying this knife.
It’s stamped Benchmade USA has a butterfly on it and is 8 3/8” long.
Anybody know what model it is?
Thanks

Looks like a benchmade 9052 AFO.....great knife.

Thanks, Scottypp,
It does look like 9052 AFO II drop point, but it doesn't have a pocket clip.
Could it be an earlier model?

Does it say in very small print bw the wings on the butterfly? Does the butterfly say bail song or benchmade?

Cho,
I looked at it under a magnifier and it does say bail song.
What does bail song mean?
I've owned this knife 2 years and never noticed it.

Bali song is just what the older models say newer ones say benchmade. Great knife. I've got an 9050 and and autostryker

Bali song knives are what most people call butterfly knives. The kind you see the thugs in movies flipping around. I want one but I'm pretty sure id regret it

I don't carry it and have never used it. It has a sheath that has Bali-Song on it but I thought it was an aftermarket one.
Probably going to replace it with something smaller.

The butterfly knives are what I found when I Google Bali Song
