Hi everyone , just got a new bk15 today , was so excited to get going that I didn't get any pictures out of box. I previously had a bk16 and bk17, but have since moved it on. They just didnt seem to fit me. Probably cos I was looking to pair them with my bk11/14. And I love the small beckers, I can pretty much cover most of my needs. I live in the city and use my knives for fishing, camping and the like.

Anyway short review so far of my bk15 is that anyone who is on the fence should definitely get one. I prefer the blade geometry compared to the bk16 or 17. I still might revisit those two knives but with my Becker necker and bk15 I have most of my bases covered .

I was first drawn to the 16 and 17 and liked the look of them and didnt even consider the 15. But once in hand I definitely prefer the 15. Anyway thought I would just have a quick write up and have some obligatory pictures

Plan for the bk15 is to have lots of kitchen time and also as a companion for my smaller beckers. I have tommythewho scales on the way and will update when they arrive.
 
Excellent! The BK15 is a great knife, for sure. I like the look of it stripped on the blade, too. Once mine wears a bit more, I'll take mine off, but kind of want to see how well it holds up.
 
The new coating is seriously thick, I used citristrip and it did take a lot longer than I thought. Unless you use it for lots of wood processing, if it was just processing meat or kitchen chores the coating will last forever.
 
Congrats on the new blade. Now you gotta get the BK-5 for a killer combo !!!! :D

Why? When you have Bk5 you don't need 15. All you need than is a small precise knife - like opinel 102, or something simillar.
 
I have handled the bk5 and it is a great knife, well balanced but too much knife for me, I am trying to reign in the spending, it's a losing battle so far as I am sure everyone will attest.
