Premium cutting board wood Kiri, 2 sizes

Our cutting boards Kiri are the ideal solution for sharp, Japanese kitchen knives. The premium version has been processed in addition to the standard version in the surface and especially on the edges. The finish is so even more noble, the hand-worked bevels make it even more pleasant to take the light cutting boards in hand.

The imperial wood (Kiri) offers high strength as well as exceptional dimensional stability, but is relatively soft and thus protects the edge of your valuable knife. Cutting boards made of hard woods, still a widespread, incorrect recommendation, break down the sharpness of the knife, on the other hand, unnecessarily fast. Kiri, however, is not only gentle, the noble wood is also incredibly light, almost like balsa wood, resistant to moisture and stiff as well as very low in distortion. The wood takes on virtually no foreign odors or tastes and has no odor of its own. An advantage is the high flash point, which is much higher for Kiri - a wood without resin - at approx. 400 °C than for ordinary forest woods (approx. 270 °C). Kiri, in Europe more known as Paulownia, is a real value wood and is often used in furniture making, musical instruments, aircraft construction and because of the lack of odor as packaging material in the food and luxury food sector.

The wood cutting board is untreated and can be used as is. Please see our instructions for use below.
