Cutting Boards & Knife Blocks

Our collection of cutting boards and knife blocks is crafted exclusively from European wood species. We make sure that our raw materials are sourced from sustainable forestry. Besides first-class workmanship and a modern design, we consider this is an equally important aspect for the quality of your product. Kindly take note that wood is a ‘living’ material and that it will retain its natural properties, even after use.

Natural material

Natural contents of wood, such as tannic acid and tannin, help prevent the formation of germs caused by food residues. Nevertheless, you should carefully clean and dry your cutting board or knife block after each use. Dirt can be removed with a damp cloth, followed by wiping dry. For more stubborn residues, vigorous scrubbing under warm running water with a little dish soap is effective. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely. Never put cutting boards or knife blocks in the dishwasher or soak them in water. Instead, allow them to air dry thoroughly. Store wooden items in a way that allows air to circulate around them from all sides to prevent warping.

Avoid drying wood products near radiators or ovens, as overly dry air can cause the wood fibers to crack. Knives should only be stored in or on the knife block when they are completely clean and thoroughly dried. Oiled surfaces—such as cutting boards, chopping blocks, or knife blocks—should be regularly re-oiled. Our blade care set with Japanese camellia oil is ideal for this purpose. You can use it not only to care for your wooden cutting boards and knife blocks, but also for your knives (handle and blade).

You will enjoy using our products for many years to come if you observe these care instructions.
