Pros & Cons
Pros
The scandi-vex edge works well on a blade as thick as this. It's convex scandi grind is amazingly functional. Field sharpening and edge maintenance is easy.
The steel is good, the sheath is good and the scales are decently comfortable. In a surveil situation, any sheath (as long as it securely holds your knife) is fine.
It's more useful than a bk2, nimble like a smaller knife, and just plain rugged. Every thing from cutting 550 para cord to choping large limbs for a shelter. I keep this with me on hunting trips as well waiting for the apocalypse to stab some zombies ... Read More
The tops bob is an amazing blade. The layout and feel of the bob knife is superb. A definite example of pride for those american workers at tops.
The blade, imo, is just perfect. The condor bush lore fits perfect as well. Still like my bk9 as a chopper.
Cons
Pics are after 1 use. I have swiss army knives that i've used for 20 years that don't look like this knife after one use. Not worth the money. It's not a swiss army knife, it's a veggie knife.

Out of the box it was not as sharp as i like but the edge came right up with just a few passed on the 1000 grit stone and the ceramic rod
Cant wait to really use this in the woods on a long back packing or hunting trip

In blade thickness id say the original 165ot woodsman would be a great competitor against the fieldcraft
Its a different edge than most conventional knives i believe its called a scandinavian grind or something like that
