I absolutely love my 16 SPF. I used it on an expedition last year and it was perfect. It is one of my favorite RMKs.

First Randall I ever bought for myself was a Model #16 that I ordered thru Tom Clinton. Has my name on it so it is a keeper for life.

I have others that I use more but that model was still "My First Randall".

Always enjoy reading your posts, David.

Fun knife facts:

The model 16 SP1 Fighter began as a dealer special offered by Doug Kenefick.

This one is stamped K 16. "Kenefick 16"

what year? I remember reading that it was available to those in the know years before it hit the catalog, mostly for soldiers.

I don't know the specific year, but I understand it was the late 70's.

Thanks Pat,

I am not sure how many were made...... I'm guessing a good many, but this is the only one I have had my hands on.

Cap....any thoughts?

I didn't think they were that early. The example you show looks more like mid 80's than 70's. Of course, you know what stone, etc. the collateral equipment was...I don't. I also don't think the numbers were quite large, as proof in fact by the small amount of them out there.
We haven't heard from "Crutch" on this. I "KNOW" how much he loves the sixteen special fighter!!
Best, Capt. Chris
