Never had a BoB, but we've had an earthquake kit since the day after the Nisqually earthquake in 2001 (it totaled a bunch of stuff in our house). My wife put it together based on a pamphlet she got on emergency preparedness. I was swapping the bottled water out for fresh the other day, and "found" my old Buck 110, I've been looking for that for a decade, glad to see I didn't lose it and that it ended up where it is. We also keep our camping/backpacking gear in plastic tubs that are very easy to get to, I'm ashamed to say we've used them more during power outages lately than we have in the woods (last time the power went out, it was out for 4 days, the time before that, it was 8 days).
After you've lived through a couple hopefully minor disasters and one or two forced emergency evacuations, you'll probably come to realize that some amount of preparedness is just plain prudent. The bulk of our earthquake kit is a 3+ day supply of consumables, most importantly water, meds, TP, and pet food (for the pets!)

To the original poster, aren't those blades cool! They'll really take and hold an edge. I've got an old Erik Frost Mora pattern knife that I know is older than I am (and I'm past the half century mark), it was beat and abused when I got it, but the edge it'll take and hold, and the ergonomics are phenomenal. Other than some minor cosmetics its pretty much the same knife you just got, with minimal care, it will serve you well and outlast us both!
