Public Defender Questions

[Lycosa]

I like the Public Defender. How many were made? Was the PD popular? Will there be another run? What time is "Happy Hour?" Thanks---OINK!

Not sure about the numbers on how many are out there, but the PD is one of my favorites. Jerry needs to do another run with rope handled micarta.

Thanks for that piece of history. It might be awhile before we see the PD back in production. I don't think that knife is a popular Busse design.

If you have one of these you just can't live with, I'll take it

I wish I still had mine.

Chuck -- I had a second one shipped to me by mistake. (Someone let Jerry into the shipping room and .... ) I sent it right back to Wauseon.
Jerry thanked me and told me that he owed me a beer. Of course, since I wasn't anywhere near Wauseon, he drank it for me.

If I'd known then what I know now, I'd have told Jerry to charge my CC for the extra PD. Of course, Jerry would have still drunk the CBL. Live and learn.

G---I meant it seems that the drop point, or whatever Jerry calls it, is the most popular blade model with the HOGS. 10-4!
