Carl, your #15 is well worn, but not abused. I like patinas, they really are functional, and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. That ebony is a good match for a dark patina. The subtle blade profile strikes me as useful. I'm going to have to try a #15 sooner or later.

The 15 is seriously a great everyday carry. I bought a 2 blade spear point with ebony covers when they first came out and it's been my go-to knife for every situation. It even went to the alter with me when my wife and I got married. My original 15 sadly went back to GEC recently because my buddy broke the pen blade "whittling." In the meantime, I actually grabbed another 15 in antique-something or other bone and use it as a replacement. Those 15's... I just can't live without em'!

I don't have many pocket knives really. Compared to most here I have very few - 8 GECs to be exact. They're all very special to me and give me great enjoyment. I prefer not to have "too much stuff", so these 8 will probably be about all I own as I don't want to collect/accumulate bunches of them.
I always have two pocket knives on me, one in the watch pocket and the other in the right front pocket. I only carry about 4 of the 8 regularly though, the others see occasional pocket time. The 55 is always one of them, the #2 spot is what rotates. Lately that's been the 15 TC Barlow, but very often it's the 2-blade Pemberton which is a huge favorite. The 92 Eureka Jack is also one of my favs. The more I carry this single spey TC Barlow the more and more I like it though. It's rapidly become my go-to now in the #2 EDC spot. I love the slim profile of a single blade slip-joint.
For some reason I continually gravitate to the 55, it's irresistable for some reason. This knife just fits me so perfectly, it's a bond that's grown and won't let go to the point where the rare times I've even thought of giving it a day off I almost instantly start to feel a mild anxiety and go back and drop it back into my pocket! lol

Very sensible approach to knives, and to life in general. +1
