Shun Hinoki Large Japanese Cypress Cutting Board SDM0817

The Shun Hinoki Large Japanese Cypress Cutting Board is a professional-grade surface designed specifically to protect your knife's edge. A common problem with kitchen prep is "edge rolling"—where hard surfaces like glass or plastic prematurely dull a blade. This board solves that by using medium-soft Hinoki wood fibers that act as a shock absorber, yielding slightly under pressure to keep your cutlery razor-sharp for longer.

Technically, Hinoki’s unique cellular structure allows the wood to compress microscopically on impact and rebound immediately. This elasticity reduces lateral stress on the blade, maintaining consistent edge geometry through every slice. Beyond performance, the wood's natural oils provide built-in antimicrobial resistance and help block food odors without the need for synthetic chemicals or treatments.

Key Features

• Edge Protection: Medium-soft Hinoki wood fibers compress under impact to prevent edge rolling and extend sharpness.
• Natural Hygiene: Inherent Hinoki oils provide organic antimicrobial resistance and reduce food odor retention.
• Extended Life: Reversible flat-board construction with dual usable faces maximizes service life.
• Stain Resistance: Pre-use water saturation expands fibers to create a barrier against protein and juice absorption.
