This Fatback Defender model with standard handles was available for sale starting April 27th 2016 through May 5th, 2016 and has been discontinued so can no longer be order from the Busse Combat. The original Public Defender was introduced by Jerry Busse in 2002. The Public Defender was a really cool knife with only a 4.5" blade at about .187" thick. Well, fast forward 14 years later, Busse takes the design and adds an Ergo Handle to the design and makes it in three versions. The versions are: Ergo Public Defender Limited Edition, the Ergo Public Defender Battle Grade and the thick version called Fatback Defender! Garth Reckner first introduced the Fatback Defender in Spring of 2016 and it has long since been discontinued. You will notice all Fatback Defenders were offered through the Busse Custom Shop and that is because these were all done by hand. The ones that were available for order have a custom Deep Hollow Ground Blade all done by hand made customs. Well, this one is different and is a full blown custom and the Busse Custom Show wanted to change things up by also changing the blade shape/grind but also the handle. They put a sweep into the top spine so this one has better flowing lines with a completely different blade shape. Instead of the double ground Tanto blade, this has a beautiful sweeping single ground blade similar to the Porky Parkway. The Busse Custom Shop put a Deep Dish Hollow Ground Grind with a Hand Finished Satin Blade with a very fine V-Ground Edge on this beauty. Then they also went all out on the Handle with a Custom Hand Shaped/Smoothed Green Canvas Micarta G-rexed Fossil Bark Handle finished off with Solid Brass Bolts & Green Liners. This was a "One of a Kind" and you will never see another one like it. You can tell a lot of thought, planning and work went into making this beautiful knife. This is Brand New, never used, carried or sharpened.There are more pictures of this There are more pictures of this knife on my forums if you want to check out before purchase.
