End-Cut Boards and Chopping Blocks

End-Grain Cutting Boards & Chopping Blocks

Think of end-grain like holding a paint brush upright. When the knife comes down on the end-grain, it slides between the bristles of the brush.

End-grain cutting boards are prized for their durability and gentleness on knives. Made by gluing together small blocks of wood, the exposed end grain creates a surface that's  more resistant to knife damage. This "self-healing" property keeps your knives sharper longer and reduces the risk of dulling.
