I like the size - for me the 14 size raises some thoughts about the 15 size. I love my 73s and 72s and I find them a perfect tool for pocket carry. The 15 size seems to be generally around the same dimensions, but it's noticeably thinner, and isn't as comfortable to use. I prefer to carry the 73 or 72 for all round tasks. So the larger drop down to 14 makes the choice to not carry a 73 or 72 a bit easier. The 14 offers less size and weight and appeals as a watch pocket or wallet carry knife.
One knife I used to regularly carry is an alox cadet. It rides along in my wallet and comes out to open a beer, or a package etc. I took some photos of my alox cadet alongside my only 14 and the first thought I had was the added blades of the cadet give it so much utility than the 14. Really wish GEC would produce some small multi bladed knives.
I wonder if the 14 frame may be better than the 66 frame for building a small stockman?
Those are the shots I was looking for thank you. I have a 14 Boy's on the way (hopefully on Monday) and I've been worried that it is going to be too toy for my taste. I opted for the Boy's as I really didn't think I stood any chance here in Europe for a TC 14 during the release frenzy also the fear that it would be too small prevented me. I think it should be OK though judging by these shots (those are very fine scale choices on all of the knives actually!) The Coyote was a severe disappointment to me, just a trick knife really and I like smaller knives. But the 14 looks meaningful.
Thanks, Will
