This hoe appeals to me, so I ordered one, the lifetime titanium version, near the beginning of November. I fully expected shipping to take a couple of months and had only a faint hope it might arrive before Christmas. (I had suggested it to my wife as a Christmas gift, and she placed the order.)

But here we are at the end of February, and there's still no hoe (ho-ho). I recently contacted Yury, but he could only track it to the point it supposedly left Russia (November 12). The tracking number he gave me isn't recognized by Canada Post, so I have no idea where the hoe is or if I'll ever see it. It seems that mail parcels -- at least ones coming from overseas -- are still unreliable.

I may resort to fashioning one from a worn down mower blade.

In early August the hoe is still a no-show, so making one seems to be my best option. Can you tell me the dimensions of the blade on the large hoe?

Dear David, I got a reply from Russian post investigation office about the parcel, and they confirmed that the parcel was lost. They are going to pay me some kind of compensation for that.
At the same time other parcels have been recieved without problems by our customers in Canada.
So I am ready to send you another hoe very soon. Should I use the same postal address?

Yes, indeed! That's great news, Yury!
