I'm not suggesting we give up hope , but if Mr Brownstone is still MIA in a couple of weeks I have a distant cousin of his that is more than happy to jump into the role of international Delica ambassador ( I live in Australia , and maybe other Aussies could host him for a few days before he heads overseas to the USA or Europe ? ) and allow this wonderful thread to grow .
He is a bit of an oddball because he has the burnt Orange scales of a Hap40 sprint Delica , but the standard VG10 blade .
He could be called into action at a days notice if required .

Ken--that's very kind of you to offer--there are actually a couple of Aussie's on the wait-list!
Let me try and get a hold of Mr. Beans for another day or two and then we can discuss the next option.
I agree with you--I don't want the thread to die!
Ken. . . After further attempts, still no word from Mr. Beans. Let's get your Delica out in the world as a substitute for Mr. Brownstone! If Mr. Beans re-surfaces with Mr. B we can put him back out in the wild.
Shoot me an email at mostmenareruthless AT gmail.com and I will get you the address of the next person in line. Thanks!!
Sounds like the ball is rollin' on #2. However, I think we must come up with a more clever name than "#2." I think Mr. Harronek has earned the naming rights to this new phase in the Traveling Delica thread, but I would ask to name it something considerably Australian like "The Kuttin Kangaroo" or the "DUD (Down Under Delica)." Just a couple silly ideas. . ..
