'Hinoki' Cutting Board Small 27x21x1 cm
KAI Hinoki Cutting Board – Gentle, natural and perfect for Japanese knives
Discover the cutting board created to enhance and maintain the sharpness of your Japanese kitchen knives. The KAI Hinoki Cutting Board is made from the exclusive hinoki wood – a Japanese cypress, known for its natural gentleness, antibacterial properties and light, elastic structure.
Perfect for Japanese knives
The soft and flexible surface of Hinoki wood is ideal for fine, hand-sharpened knives, as it reduces wear on the edge and minimizes the risk of nicks and damage. This means your knives stay sharper for longer – without compromising cutting ability.
Natural durability and hygiene
Hinoki has a naturally high content of antibacterial oils that counteract bacterial growth and unwanted odors. The wood's natural resistance to moisture and deformation makes it an obvious choice in the modern kitchen.
Lightweight and aesthetic
With its light color and fine grain, the cutting board adds a calm, Japanese aesthetic to the kitchen. It is lightweight yet sturdy enough for everyday use, and it accepts the knife with a softness that makes every cut a pleasure.
About Hinoki
◎ About use
Hinoki wood expands and contracts as it absorbs moisture or dries.
Avoid excessive drying by exposing it to direct sunlight or leaving it in water for long periods, as this can cause the wood to warp and crack.
Wet the surface thoroughly before use to prevent the board from absorbing bacteria and odors.
After use, we recommend that you wash (or scrub) the board with coarse salt instead of using washing-up liquid. This will preserve the wood's natural antiseptic properties.
Allow the board to dry thoroughly in a shaded area with good ventilation, then store in a dry place.
◎About resin
Resin extraction may occur on the surface. This is a natural resin that is harmless to humans. It is the resin that is the source of the board's wonderful scent and also contributes to the wood's antiseptic properties. If you think the board is "sticky" a little, you can wipe the board with pure alcohol.
In general
All product photos are real photos of the specific products. However, some photos have added interiors and surroundings created using artificial intelligence to create atmosphere and put the product into context.
Regarding Woodworks
We aim to continuously expand the catalog so that sizes and designs are best illustrated in the webshop.
There are not photos of all variants and sizes, so the photo that appears when choosing a variant in the webshop mainly reflects only the type of wood - not necessarily size or other variations in the design.
NOTE that we always try to create unique wooden products with an exciting visual expression. You must therefore take our product photos as a guide and not as a guarantee of how the finished product appears in terms of year drawings and color play.
