RUBBER RubberNBD001 Cutting Board, Synthetic Rubber, Black, M, Made in Japan 11.8 x 7.9 x 0.3 inches (300 x 200 x 8 mm) (M)

After trying all manner of chopping boards, including an expensive Japanese hinoki wood option, this one is by far the best - grips the counter, firm enough to be decently supportive, robust enough not to get shredded, and yet soft enough not to blunt sharp knives. Also easy to clean/dry. Wish I'd bought one years ago.

If I had it to do over again, I'd go for the Large, not the Medium sized board. I may make the M my motorcycle camping board and get a Large for small jobs around the house.I will definitely be purchasing the XL 600X300X50mm Asahi Pro cutting board as my main board after using this one for a couple of weeks. (Too bad Amazon doesn't have any sellers that have this board available.)After a LOT of cutting on this board with several knives, including my Shibata Kotetsu Gyuto there is practically zero signs of wear. The "thud" when cutting through carrots and parsnips is extremely satisfying and I've detected zero dulling of the blade on my knives. No warping evident, but I do store it flat after drying, as recommended for these thinner, somewhat flexible boards.I can certainly recommend this cutting board for high-end knives if you are looking for a small, lightweight cutting board.Overall, I like this board far more than I thought I would.

My knives seem very happy with this cutting board. They do seem to be keeping their edge. It has a nice feel when you use it.

I have been using this cut board for a week now. My impression is easy to cut since the knife doesn’t bounce after cutting because it is made of rubber. Also it is easy to clean up, quick to dry after wash, so easy to maintain. I can tell the board is made of high quality rubber, and it will last long. This is relatively small, so it is more suitable for a single life than family.

Alles Gut

細かなもの、ちょっと使いの時に活躍しています。軽く、乾きやすいのも扱い易さのポイントだと思います。
