MATERIAL MATTERS
Knife-friendly, practical and made for everyday use
Wood, plastic and bamboo have different strengths. The best choice depends on what you prepare, how you clean and whether the board will also be used for serving.
- Wood: warm, durable and gentle on knives
- Plastic: light and easy to wash
- End-grain: substantial and made for frequent use
