Material
Top Teak
Crafted from sustainable teak from responsibly managed plantations. Teaks natural oils create a barrier against heat, moisture, and bacteria, enhancing hygiene and durability.
1155 Janka
Woods are rated based on the Janka Hardness Scale. Teak has a remarkable 1,155 — meaning its exceptionally high tensile strength provides a resilient, knife-friendly surface that resists scratching and warping, retaining its beauty through years of heavy use.
Construction
End-grain construction is the gold standard of professional chefs for a reason. It gently absorbs the impact of knives and doesn’t dull them. When cutting on an edge-grain, the knife is effectively trying to saw the fibers in half, which will dull the knife. Because the wood fibers stand upright on an end-grain board, the blade is able to slip in between the vertical wood fibers, protecting the blade and not cutting the wood fibers. The wood fibers will naturally return to their starting position, effectively “self-healing” the cutting surface.
Design
The Essential Teak End Grain Cutting Board combines style with functionality. Its end-grain checkerboard design is meticulously crafted by wood making artisans. Integral handles add convenience, transforming it into serve ware.
