I really wanted a NIB BK5, but I guess I will have to pass. So in place of it, I'm looking at the Rat-7. Can someone tell me the blade thickness of this one?
I'm not looking at a chopping blade, more of a outdoor, meat cutting, heavy duty 8 inch (about) slicing blade.

Randall's Adventure & Training's knife collaborations with Ontario Knife Co. The Ontario RAT7 is a survival / utility knife designed by the professional survival training team Randall's Adventure & Training (RAT) and manufactured exclusively by Ontario Knife Co. Designed for: Wilderness Survival - Military Operations - Law Enforcement - Utility Use - Hunting, and any other task requiring a sheath knife comfortable enough to be carried full time. Specs: *Overall length: 12 inches *Cutting edge length: 6.5 inches *Steel: 1095 *Maximum thickness: 3/16" *Weight: 13.2 ounces *Full flat grind *Phosphate finish *Canvas Micarta handle slabs *Slabs secured with three screws *Thumb grooves in spine *Extended pommel *Cordura sheath w/ gear pocket and Kydex blade insert from SpecOps Brand
 
Even with the 3/16" spine thickness, the full-height flat grind on that wide blade pulls it down to reasonably thin behind the edge, and the edge could be thinned out a good bit more if you desired.
