Review: Highly recommend this cutting board to anyone with quality knives—it’s a worthwhile investment! - This cutting board is absolutely perfect for my Miyabi knives! I had been eyeing those popular teak cutting boards for a while, but everything I found was either too pricey or too heavy, so I stuck with my Joseph Joseph plastic cutting board. My husband, who’s the better knife user (and the one who insisted on buying the knife set when I couldn’t even cut tofu properly), always said I’d ruin the knives without a proper cutting board. I didn’t want to invest until I was sure, but now that I’m the one using the knives more often, I see what he meant. It finally dawned on me that the knife company would probably make the best cutting board for their own products. I looked up Shun’s cutting boards, fully expecting to spend a couple of hundred dollars. To my surprise, the price was very reasonable, so I ordered it immediately. It was supposed to arrive later this month but showed up in just three days! First impressions: The board is gorgeous and lightweight, making it easy to handle. Using it today was a dream—it’s gentle on my knives, easy to clean, and feels so much better than my old plastic board. I’m so impressed with the quality and performance that I plan to order the small and large versions next. Highly recommend this cutting board to anyone with quality knives—it’s a worthwhile investment!
Review: My preferred cutting board - Everyone is bound to have their favorite cutting board, and that's great! Not everyone needs the same style of cutting boards. This Hinoki cutting board is great if you use lightweight and fairly sharp knives. My favorite everyday knives are Mac Mighty Santoku knives, which are both lightweight and fairly sharp. I also have a variety of Japanese knives. Most importantly, this cutting board is made from very soft wood which is very gentle on your knives. Your knives won't dull as quickly when using a soft wood cutting board made from Hinoki cypress. Another benefit is that this specific cutting board is nice and lightweight. It's easy for me to rinse in the sink, unlike my larger cutting boards which are more cumbersome. However, there are a few things to consider. These cutting boards stain easily. After a while they'll start to look a bit grungy, and there's no way (that I know), other than sanding them down, to restore their appearance. I would also avoid using them with knives that could leave deep scores in the wood. They also warp easily when exposed to water. However, don't worry too much if your cutting board warps. Over time, it should even out if you treat it right. I'm sure that there are video's on this, but my advice would be: When cleaning this cutting board, always clean both sides, even if one side needs it most. This will ensure that both sides get equally wet, which helps keep the cutting board from warping. When drying the cutting board, make sure that airflow can reach both sides.

## Features

- MEDIUM CUTTING BOARD: The Shun Cutlery Medium Hinoki Cutting Board is expertly designed to be the perfect cutting surface for any knife. Medium-soft wood "gives" as you cut, helping to preserve knife edges.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why use Hinoki cutting boards?**
A: Hard surfaces like tile, stone, or acrylic, can dull your knives. Use softer boards that will “give” instead. Shun recommends Hinoki wood, a Japanese cypress prized for its durability, beauty, and light fragrance.

**Q: How do I take care of my Hinoki cutting board?**
A: Wet the cutting board before each use; this will help resist staining. Wash the board with a mild detergent, then towel it dry. Finally, let it air-dry away from direct sunlight.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best for vegetables
*by M***Y on October 30, 2025*

Delicate and very lightweight but perfect for cutting vegetables. This is my favorite cutting board for vegetables. You really appreciate the super lightweight when you have to use it and wash it. Mine has held up over a year with no issues and it feels best when you use super sharp knives like Shun on it.
