Tenryo-Manaita High-Soft Polyethylene Cutting Board

Unlike standard, rigid plastic boards that can be hard on your wrists and blades, the High-Soft material has a unique elasticity. This softness absorbs the impact of your knife, which helps reduce hand fatigue during long prep sessions and keeps your edges sharper for longer.

No, this board is specifically designed to be gentle on high-end cutlery. Its surface mimics the forgiving nature of wood, providing enough resistance to be effective while remaining soft enough to prevent premature dulling or chipping of delicate steel blades.

While the material is highly durable, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and warm water. High-heat dishwasher cycles can cause the board to warp or lose its structural integrity over time.

While the polyethylene is non-porous and hygienic, it can occasionally pick up deep pigments from highly staining foods. To minimize this, we recommend rinsing the board immediately after use and scrubbing it with a mild abrasive or baking soda paste if discoloration occurs.

Thinner boards are lighter and easier to maneuver for quick tasks, while thicker boards provide more stability and are less likely to warp over time. If you do heavy-duty chopping or use large cleavers, opt for the thicker 30mm models for a more solid, professional feel.
