TeakHaus Edge Grain Round Cutting Board 18"

The TeakHaus 18-inch Round Edge Grain Cutting Board is a high-density workspace designed for chefs who require significant surface area without the corner-constraints of rectangular boards. At 1.5 inches thick, this board provides the necessary mass to absorb impact during heavy-duty butchery while remaining stable on the countertop. Unlike softer woods, teak (Tectona Grandis) is naturally saturated with high levels of oily resins and silica. In our testing, this provides a unique 'self-healing' quality to the wood fibers, significantly reducing the depth of knife scars and preventing the absorption of bacteria-harboring moisture.

The edge grain construction is specifically chosen for its balance of durability and knife-edge protection. The vertical orientation of the wood fibers allows high-HRC (Rockwell Hardness) Japanese and German steel to bite slightly into the surface rather than reflecting off it, which preserves the microscopic alignment of your knife's edge for longer periods between hones. The 18-inch diameter offers approximately 254 square inches of prep space, providing ample room for a 12-pound standing rib roast or a full multi-component charcuterie arrangement. The integrated perimeter juice canal is deep-milled to capture up to 4 ounces of liquid, preventing cross-contamination on your primary kitchen surfaces. Recessed side grips are carved with a 30-degree bevel, allowing for a secure hold even when the board is at its maximum 8.5lb weight capacity.
