Wooden boards are constructed using the edge or end of the wood to reduce impact on the stainless steel blades.
End grain
Also called the “butcher’s block”, an end-grain board is the most versatile board for all kinds of cutting tasks from simple dicing to intensive chopping. It is constructed of end pieces to create a rebounding surface for knives as they impact on the upright fibres of the wood.
Edge grain
An edge-grain wooden board is crafted from the edge of the plank, creating a lower impact for knives than the flat side of the wood.
