not the best picture.. but I sure do like em!
 
Great thread Paul. Funny because though I don't have numerous 15's I've become fascinated with them of late and was thinking how many variants there are - the Barlow, the Boys Knife, the Scout, bare-head, capped, scale variations, numerous blade configurations... It's got something for everyone really. The 3.5" length is darned near ideal for general purpose use/carry. Now the Northfield variation in the Radio Jack is a masterpiece.

For me the Radio Jack is an ideal companion with the screwdriver/bottle opener. It's spear blade is my favorite. The nickel-silver bolsters, brass liners and pins are a great touch of class.



And of course the classic Barlow...

 
Thanks Paul :) Yes, addictive is the correct word. The first one I ordered was "just for fun", I wanted to try the pattern and found out quickly that is a very useful type of knife - it kicked out my beloved #66 Serpentine Jack on top of the EDC rotation at least for a while.





Oh... and I really like the long pulls - they make a great appeal to the frameshape.

Great pics, everyone! Especially yours Duncan (& Paul of course as well)!

I really like that Scout with the bone. I have a 85 on order but I'm thinking the next will be a Scout with yellow bone. Thanks for the great pic.

What a great Blade combo R8shell - veeeery cool!!
 
A fantastic frame for sure :thumbup: Some truly outstanding knives have been produced on it, mainly thanks to our very own Charlie Campagna - stand up and take a well-earned bow Charlie! :D

Great collection Paul, lovely to see them together. I have to say that, even in such esteemed company, I think that Diamond Radio in ebony really stands out :)

I'm sure we'll see more 15's over the years, what a treat it will be to see them all together. I wonder if anyone has all the different patterns and varieties that have been produced to date.
 
Oh yes, we likes them very much, we do. In all their glorious manifestations...

They became one more today :D



... and another TC is almost inside the orbit ;)
 
I also love this style. They're great looking and are just the right size and thinness. I've been able to snag a few of them but they went quick!
Oh how I love that long pull nail nick and pronounced swedge on those spear point's; I've always been late to a party, usually by a day, and always poorer for it.:(
