    I've had this model for about 8 years now and beat on it pretty hard. Only complaint is that the liner lock has worn pretty badly and allowed it to develop a small amount of blade play. Prior to retiring from the military in 2011 I carried another variation of the M16 for several years as a back up to the Benchmade they issued to me. Quite a few people carried them on deployment because 1) they were relatively cheap and 2) they were readily available at the PX/BX. Chain saw files work pretty well for sharpening those serrations btw.

    In 2001-2002 I worked in a knife shop in Arizona. CRKT did these promotions where they'd give us 10% of our monthly sales of their products in credit to purchase their knives, kinda like a sales incentive program. They for a short time made "F" models of these designs with carbon fiber scales and AUS 118 steel. I got three M16-14F free of charge from the program. Kept one, and gave two away as gifts. I lost it in the ocean off Coronado Beach. I always wonder if it washed up and someone found it.

      Wow that’s a cool story what blade style did the F models have?? Imagine finding one of those washed up on a beach 🤤

      @@BladeBench Right?!? Hopefully it washed up quickly and someone found it. It was the same M16-14 pattern as the knife you review in this video, but with an uncoated AUS118 steel and gray carbon fiber scales. You can find a few references and pictures online if you search.

    Yeah it’s definitely not for everyone but it gives it a unique look that I’ve been happy to add to the collection.

    The company will not sell you a replacement blade. Avoid (or never break it).

      @@BladeBench Don't get me wrong, I've owned several knives from this brand but I was turned off when I broke a blade. So I called them and it was no we will not sell you a replacement blade.
      So, good knife for the price point.
      Poor support.

      I actually use a thin diamond sharpener at least for the wider serrations and it works pretty well. Not as easy as a straight edge of course but doable…..ish lol

      As long as you’re not leaving it outside or keeping it super wet or dirty it should be ok

      @@BladeBench Exactly, and if you wipe if off and have any type of lubricant just put a bit on and it will be perfect. People always will find something to whine about and yes this is a low end steel but that is such a cool ass knife. Especially because a lot of military use the M-16s.

    Hate the messed up tanto blade. Blade should be straight across the spine to the point NOT a modified clip/drop point
