Cutting Boards
The surface beneath a knife has a direct effect on how long its edge lasts. Glass, stone, and ceramic dull a blade quickly; wood absorbs the impact of each cut and helps a fine edge stay sharp. This collection focuses on two woods chosen for their compatibility with quality cutlery: teak and hinoki.
Teak is a dense tropical hardwood with a high natural oil content, which gives it strong resistance to moisture. Our TeakHaus boards are available in edge-grain and end-grain construction, from compact serving boards to full butcher blocks. Hinoki, a Japanese cypress, is a softer wood that gives slightly under the blade, which makes it a preferred surface for thin, hard Japanese knives. Both woods benefit from regular oiling, and board oil is available in this collection.

Mercer Board Buddy - Red
Lock Your Workspace: Professional Grade Stability with the Mercer Board Buddy In a high-volume kitchen, a shifting cutting board isn't just an annoyance—it is a significant safety hazard that leads to inconsistent knife strokes and potential injury. The Mercer Board Buddy (SKU M18931) replaces the unhygienic, traditional method of using wet paper towels or rags under your board. Having tested this in fast-paced commercial environments, the tactile response is immediate: the 12" x 18" food-grade silicone creates a high-friction vacuum between the board and the countertop, effectively 'rooting' the prep station in place even during heavy-duty tasks like splitting winter squash or deboning large proteins. The vibrant red color serves more than just an aesthetic purpose; it allows for easy visual identification in color-coded HACCP systems, ensuring this mat stays with the correct prep station. Unlike cheaper rubber alternatives that degrade and become gummy over time, this heavy-duty silicone remains supple and maintains its grip even when exposed to the high-heat cycles of industrial dishwashers. When handling the mat, you can feel the density of the silicone—it’s thin enough to not add height to your station, yet thick enough to absorb micro-vibrations from impact. This is a critical tool for any chef prioritizing precision and safety. Learn More$10.85
