The 15 is a fantastic blade. I think everyone should own one or 2.
The 14 is great, but if your hands are BIG it might feel a bit small. With scales though I hear its really really comfy.

The only ones that are smaller than the 16 are the 1, 13 & 14/24. The 14/24 has the longest & most comfortable handle of the three. I edc my 14/24 ( I have both ) because it fits in my front pocket & takes care of 90% of my daily needs. I've upgraded both with custom wooden scales/ handles.
Can't go wrong with either 11, or 13.
My hands aren't small and I only get 3 fingers on the 11, and 3-1/2 on the 14, but they still feels very comfortable in my hand.
I have both and take turns carrying then daily, and they are by far my most used Beckers.
Oh, and you should buy a big Becker while your at it.
You need a 9, you can't not have a 9.
(sorry bigghoss, beat you to it)

If you're steering for smaller, my hands are almost as big as the VIKing's, and I keep a BK-14 in my EDC rotation.
In my case, I keep it scale-less for a lower profile in pocket. but as a bushcraft/woods knife, I would have the scales on.
Here's a pic of my EDC '14. too lazy to make a kydex sheath for it, because the stock one fits my needs just fine, if it didn't, the TDI clip makes it clip just about anywhere.
I will admit that I did walk the bevel waaay back to ca. 15 degrees, then convex it. And I highly recommend it.

Looks like a mini scandi. Nice 14 ThePointyEnd!
Get the 14 or 24. At the pricepoint, and considering the uses for a small blade, I'd suggest to just get the 24 and try out some D2
Get the factory scales too though. They're a must, imo.

I like the 24 as a step down (size wise) from my 16.
If I drank a lot of beer, I may lean toward the 11.
