SpyderBros/SpyderGals/SpyderBites/SpyderPhreaks,
I have a lonely brown Delica in VG-10 that is in near-new condition. It sits in its box all day long, inside a dark storage bin, inside a closet. Every now and again when I open the storage box for one reason or another I hear a faint call from it saying "use me, please. I wasn't meant to sleep all day in a box. I was meant to CUT things." Well, unfortunately, I have a SuperBlue Delica and a Lil' Para Mod Delica that seem to always get the pocket time and the pocket love and as such the lonely Brown Delica goes neglected.
Will you help me fulfill all the hopes and dreams of this little Brown Delica? He wants to get out and see the world! He has hopes of cutting small tree limbs in North Carolina, slicing open packages in Texas, dicing fruits in Illinois, zipping through yards of cardboard in California.
The one thing about him is that he is VERY vain! He wants his exploits in use to be documented, photographed and posted on the Spyderco forum for the world to see! He is also particular--he wants to be used and NOT abused. He wants to be loved, but NOT molested. He wants to be kept sharp and NOT butchered.
Here is what I propose:
**I ship the Brown Delica to a Spyderco forumite. They put it to use, carry it, use it, strop it, love it, etc.
**They document their EDC use by taking pics and documenting the journey by posting the adventures right here in this here thread.
**After a week or two of use, they send the Delica (at their own expense) to another Spyderco forumite and "wash, rinse, and repeat."
**This cycle continues as long as there is someone next in line who wants to continue the journey.
**After a few months of it traveling the country and the world the knife will then be returned home to me, safe, sound, and fulfilled of all its hopes, dreams, and journeys.
If you are interested in participating will you please EMAIL me and include your username on BF. We will make arrangements to get the ball rolling on this journey!

**UPDATED TRAVEL INFO**
Sadly, Mr. Brownstone disappeared, along with the last host "wired beans", somewhere up in the Great White North.
However, a great member Harronek from Down Under has introduced a new player in the game--a decidedly Australian gent by the name of Bluey! Bluey is a burnt orange handled VG10 Delica and he will be traveling the world in the stead of Mr. B. His first stop is further down south in South Australia and is being hosted by Lou7. I will keep the thread updated with mileage and locations on this first page with the NEW itinerary for Bluey.

Yet another new player in the game has been introduced from the kind participation of uxo2. Please see the latest posts for the adventures of "Cam."

But it has been fun to read the exploits of "Earl" over in the Traditionals area. Hopefully there will be some fun photography to follow.
