    I have wondered about the Opinel No18 in comparison to the Bhaco Laplander. My Laplander is of similar age to yours, and the blade is quite worn (and has been bent and straightened a couple of times). A consideration is the Opinel is around £40, which is twice the price of a new Laplander. Price of a replacement blade for the Laplander is approx £14. The blade on the Opinel is coarser, so it may favour larger cross section cuts too. I wonder if the Opinel blade is rust resistant like the Laplander? Are you thinking of getting a new blade for the Laplander? Hmmm .... decisions decisions ... Thanks for the review, maybe share a long term use opinion in the future? 🙂

    Would have been an idea to do a bit of research about the place before you visited. There's so much history about the harbour and steps you could have mentioned. There's also a chippy right across the road from the harbour.

    • @Bluejay1968

      Hi, thanks for the comment. This wasn't pre planned. it was literally a last-minute, spur of the moment trip. I was near the station at Wigton and had a couple of hours to kill. Sadly, there was no time for research. That said, just turning up at a place and exploring the unknown can be just as much fun as having a pre planned itinerary.

I have the tuneable counterpoise too which seems to improve the performance further. It's a handy little tuner for sota or going for a hike where the noise is better.
