Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cutting board reversible?

No, the board features rubber feet for added stability, so it is not reversible.

How does the juice groove work?

The juice groove runs along the perimeter of the board, catching liquids from juicy foods like roasts or fruits, preventing spills on your countertop.

Why is end grain better for knives?

End grain construction allows the knife blade to glide between wood fibers, reducing wear on the blade and keeping it sharper for longer. Using long grain or edge grain boards is ideal for use with destructive serrated knives or messy tasks like BBQ.

How is this board different from plastic cutting boards?

Unlike plastic boards, which can warp and trap bacteria in scratches, this wood board is naturally antimicrobial, more durable, and adds a touch of elegance to your kitchen.

What makes walnut wood special?
