I have a B.O.B. its hands down my favorite fixed blade, it rides in my fire pack (wildland firefighter) all season and gets used a lot for camp chores, it batons kindling very well, cooking, etc. Its also my go-to hunting knife mine has skinned and quartered 4 elk, 6 deer and an antelope since I've had it. They are very easy to sharpen due to the scandi grind and 1095 and it holds the edge well for a long time. Cant say enough good about them, the only thing that sucks is the sheath, still working on a great solution for that due to all the different missions I use it for, probably need one for fire gear (kydex with MOLLE/ALICE) and ill make a leather one for hunting and general camping/bushcraft uses. The blade thickness is a non-issue in my opinion and is a bonus for some chores (ex batoning kindling, I've used this thing pretty hard).
