Shun Hinoki Cypress Cutting Board
Best cutting surface for home cooks wanting to protect fine cutlery.
This Japanese cypress board offers a forgiving, aromatic surface that keeps your high-end blades sharper for longer. It is softer than traditional hardwoods, meaning it will show knife marks over time, but that trade-off is a small price to pay for superior edge retention.
