American Wasabi farm Opinel sighting.

A friend posted this link on FB featuring a US producer of Wasabi. In the video they are using an Opinel to harvest the rhizomes.
Pretty cool video as well.

I purchased my first Opinel directly from the company a few weeks back. I paid $14.95 for the knife and $2.00 shipping. I've heard of the brand a long time ago. I'm sorry I did not purchase one long before I purchased my recent one. I was at a gun/knife show this weekend and there were a few knife vendors that were amazed at the light weight and sharpness. I use my Opinel at restaurants for my personal cutting habits.

Interesting little video. I had no idea about wasabi in general. The opinel seems like a solid choice.
Thanks for posting this,
