There's a BK15 in my future

[Chalet]

After looking through this thread:

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1190410-Just-got-a-BK-15

I've decided my next Becker will definitively be a BK15 when I can afford it. Can you guys tell me a bit about how it's design came about, or any quirks about it?

Also, is it possible for anyone to post a picture of one next to a BK11?

Thanks! Hopefully I don't have to wait too long.

Really hard to go wrong with the 15. Its one of my favorite production blades.

I'm gonna get a 15 for the wife one of these days.

Here are a 5, 15 and modded 11:



Here are the unmolested 15 and 11 with no scales:



All I know about the 15 is that it's a Becker Small in the pattern of the Magnum Camp (which, I believe was collaboration between Ethan Becker and Jerry Fisk,) and that it is awesome.

Does this help at all ?

Haven't Decided yet if I'm going to go High polish or patina on this one.

Once you have a BK-15 in your home, it will start nagging you to get a BK-5 to keep it company.

You've got that right, Then they gang up on you and force you to get a 9

5 and 15 both versatile but I mostly use them for food prep! A stripped 5 with wood handles is a thing of beauty!

We have a 5 and two 15s - love them anytime we want a slicey knife. Seriously, they are very practical blades and both have become part of our camping/glamping kit.

I'm gonna give one away soon. May get one sooner than you think.......

The love is strong. And so is a 5/15.

The 5 is pretty sweet. I didn't think much about it UNITL I was able to handle one at the gathering... And now I want one. Just like that. The same goes for the 15. So when it finally boils down to ordering one, It'll be a coin toss as to which one to get first.

get the 5. Then you can have a reason to buy ridonkulous slabs of meat and have the perfect tool to slice them down to manly portions for grilling. Just an idea to mull over.

You, sir, make a valid point.

Grilling meat included in an idea usually solidifies it for me so I figured it'd be a good motivator for someone else too.

The blade is modeled on the BK5 Jerry Fisk design. Just scaled down.

The 15 is definitely in the reticle.
