Oak chopping board 60×40 cm – Why this size is perfect for BBQs

A good knife is more than just a tool—it's a matter of precision, ergonomics, and the right application. Choosing the right knife type makes work easier, improves cutting results, and protects the material and your hand in the long run. Our hand-forged Cuttworxs Damascus knives are tailored to different tasks and needs. Below you'll find an overview of the most important blade shapes and their applications.

Chef's knife – For large cuts and precise power

The classic chef's knife is the most versatile tool in any kitchen. The long, slightly curved blade is ideal for cutting meat, fish, vegetables, or herbs. Thanks to its balanced and high stability, it masters both powerful and controlled cuts.

Santoku knife – the compact all-rounder

The Santoku knife originates from Japan and is known for its handy blade shape. It's particularly suitable for vegetables, fish, and smaller portions of meat. Its light weight and straight cutting surface make it ideal for fine, precise cuts.

Nakiri knife – specialist for vegetables

The Nakiri was specially developed for vegetable cooking. With its straight, rectangular blade, it's ideal for finely dicing, chopping, and slicing vegetables and herbs. It cuts cleanly right down to the board—without any rocking motion.

Bread knife – For crust, fruit and more

The serrated bread knife glides effortlessly through hard crusts and soft interiors. It's suitable not only for bread, but also for large fruits like pineapple, melon, or pumpkin. It's also a reliable helper for tomatoes or hard-shelled baked goods.

Knife block or individual set?

Anyone who performs multiple cutting tasks benefits from a well-stocked set. Our knife blocks offer secure and stylish storage for a variety of blade shapes. Those seeking even more flexibility can create their own set: Choose your chef's board made of solid oak in your desired size and combine it with the matching Cuttworxs Damascus knife.

All Cuttworxs Damascus knives are made of genuine Damascus steel with an elaborate grind – for long-lasting sharpness, perfect balance, and a distinctive blade pattern that makes each knife unique. The handles are made of fine woods, ergonomically shaped, and fit securely in the hand, even during extended use.

A high-quality cutting board is characterized by three things: the right material, well-thought-out functionality, and a construction that will last. We use solid oak and walnut wood – natural, robust, antibacterial, and gentle on knives. Our cutting boards are 4 cm thick, making them noticeably more stable than many commercially available models. No warping, no slipping – just a reliable work surface that will last for decades.

Our boards also make a difference in terms of functionality: a precisely milled juice groove, double-sided usability, and, depending on the model, practical recessed handles or stainless steel elements ensure that the board becomes a real tool – in the kitchen, at the grill, or on the buffet.

We have developed four well-thought-out board lines for different requirements:

Chef board – The robust kitchen board

Compact, functional, and versatile: Our 30 × 30 cm and 40 × 30 cm chef's boards are ideal for everyday use in the kitchen—for cutting vegetables, meat, or herbs. Solid wood combines clean lines and high-quality craftsmanship.

Chef Board XL – For grill, BBQ & large cuts

The 50 × 40 cm and 60 × 40 cm versions offer generous space for large pieces of meat, roasts, or pulled pork. Perfect for grilling, preparing, and serving—sturdy, cut-resistant, and with plenty of presence.

Steak & Burger Boards – For a stylish appearance

More compact than the Chef's Board, but no less impressive: The steak and burger boards combine aesthetics with functionality – with a milled juice groove, recessed handles, and a refined wood texture. Ideal for serving meat, burgers, or small meals – straight from the grill to the table.

Our cutting boards are handcrafted with passion for materials, form, and function. They are made for people who want to experience quality, who shop consciously, and who value durable tools. Not mass-produced goods—just honest products that last.

Discover all cutting boards at a glance

Absolutely! A solid cutting board or a fine Damascus knife is more than just a tool—it's a gift with value and character. Whether for a wedding, a birthday, Father's Day, or as a sophisticated corporate gift, handcrafted products made of wood and steel are always well received. Packaged in elegant outer packaging, engraved upon request, or as a set—a gift for people who prefer to burn fires rather than just cook.

With us, you won't get anonymous mass-produced goods, but lovingly crafted unique pieces – made from solid wood, refined with experience and quality. We are passionate BBQ fans, kitchen people, and hosts ourselves. Our products are created from this passion, with genuine handcraft – fair, honest, and uncompromising quality. And that's exactly what you'll feel with every cut.

Each of our boards is unique – yet they follow a clear standard: solid wood, perfect craftsmanship, and a sophisticated design. Our chef stations are workstations with GN containers and a stainless steel console, ideal for professionals and prep workers. Our chef boards, on the other hand, offer solid support, flexible use, and an optional juice groove – perfect for everyday use at the grill or in the kitchen. Our burger and steak boards, on the other hand, focus on presentation: with or without handles, striking in both form and function. What they all have in common? Real wood, real work, real tools.

We use only high-quality, sustainable wood – oak, walnut, elm, ash, or maple. All boards are handcrafted in our factory, one by one. We focus on short distances, fair conditions, and 100% quality assurance. Our Damascus knives are made by traditional blacksmiths and processed in small batches – each piece is inspected, sharpened, and ready for use. No industrialization, no compromises – only genuine products with a provenance.
