I own both, (and quite a few other knives). The 16 is my "Go to" knife for most camping, general uses. It's just a sweet blade. The 10 is great for woods, wilderness use to me. To me, it's a BK-2 done right, (Not to insult the 2). It's not too big to haul around with you on a long hike, not too heavy, yet heavy enough to get some chopping done. Love the handle shapes on both, (Esp. the 16).
