Don't get me wrong, I am deeply in Love with my Bk2:D But I really want....need some more:) I asked everyone I know for a Becker bk7, 11, or nine, because I had a 14 and a two, but I traded my 14...But now, I realllyyy want a 15! Haha, if I gotta bk2, you guys think the 15 is a good next choice? And what is the majority vote between the 15 and the 17? Cause I want one of those pretty hard too:D
 
Haha, if only I had the money for that! And I am so undecided with those two....I Like the look of the 17 at first look, but I think that 15 in person would make me fall in love, especially stripped!
 
I've already got a 15 & a 16 so you should get the 17 and let me borrow it. :D
Seriously though, it all depends on how you'll be using it. Food prep a etc =15, skinning game =17, everything else =16.
So just think about how you're actually going to use it most and go from there.
 
A 15 or a 17 is a great companion to the campanion. I don't have one yet , but they would fill the gap between the 2 and the 11/14 nicely
 
It would be a go-to, for everything kinda knife. The reason I am thinking of the 15, is cause I have a Persian style custom around the same length, but its really handle heavy, and I don't wanna mess it up anyway. But I Love the skinny tip for the way I use a knife that size. Haha, but the 17 calls my name...
 
I will say this, on a serious note, I find the 15 a tad bit too long to carry EDC. I only carry it when I am going to be going to a steak house and I know it ahead of time.

The 16 and 17 are the same size and I find myself grabbing for the 17 first over either of the 16s. Lately I've been carrying the passaround FFG 17 from K9 and it has been my definite go to blade, beating out even my 17. It's also beaten out my Esee-3 and 4.

Depends a lot on how you'll use it. I use my 15 all the time around the house, at work, when camping...

If you wanted a field-dressing knife, I'd go with a 17 or 16, but I would recommend that 15 as your first tweener. It's my go-to blade, as it just seems to fit my style of usage very well.
