Quality Knives Deserve Quality Chopping Boards

Like an Italian sports car, Japanese knives are high-performance but require care and respect. Their incredible sharpness and hardness come with a trade-off: they’re less forgiving. That hardness keeps the edge razor-sharp for longer but also makes the knife more brittle.

Avoid cutting through chicken bones or slicing on granite or glass surfaces—these can damage the blade. Instead, opt for a wooden chopping board. For a touch of luxury, why not try our walnut end-grain cutting boards? They're the perfect match for premium knives.
