That’s an understatement

I sharpened a LOT of chains on one of those at a previous job. But never tried sharpening a Spyderco!

Haha don't worry, I'd never use that machine on a knife!

Starting off the week with a double dose of Cruwear.

At first glance I thought someone butchered a Fluted Titanium Native 5. Glad to see that wasn't the case

You're a lucky guy Gernot! For me, La Palma is the most beautiful of the Canary Islands...I've been there a couple of times, the last time during the eruption of the volcano.
In La Palma I have seen the most amazing night skies of my entire life…

I am a lucky guy indeed!

Having to decide between great ski touring in my home mountains and equally great hiking, climbing, trailrunning, ocean swimming...on La Palma (and I obviously went with the latter for now) is one of the best "problems" to have

/ Yes, La Palma is just stunning. I've been around quite a bit, but I think I've never seen so much beauty and varitey packed into such a comparably small area/island.
And what's great too: One can still be really on their own, I almost never see other people, let alone tourists in the places I go, volcanoes I climb and so on.

I still carry and use the Stretch 1 as my knife, the Pac Salt SE is just a backup on this trip.
The Stretch 1 is great. Comes in very handy for food prep for example with its for the size long cutting edge (more than a Stretch 2 in a clearly more compact size)

Pictured here during a downclimb to a remote coastline where then I jumped into the Atlantic ocean

(And yes, I love to wear barefoot/minimal shoes. These are Merrell Vapor Glove 4s, not much (sole) between my feet and the planet
Adds another sensoric experience)

Oh man.. I'm feelin' a bit jealous as well.
It's peak winter season here now with nice weather, great snow conditions and more sun/longer days so I shouldn't be jealous at all. But being stuck at home for over a week with a concussion I'm in no shape to enjoy these great conditions we have atm.
I'd rather it be summer so I could at least sit outside in the sun, instead of being trapped inside just feeling guilt for not being able to participate in shoveling some of the massive amounts of snow we've been getting lately.
But then again, suddenly I'll be back to my good ol' self, and I'd be very happy to find that winter wonderland right outside my door :)

Enjoy your time in the Canaries!
