A good chopping board is more than just a kitchen helper – it is a piece of craftsmanship that works for you every day. If you're interested in a high-quality hardwood board, you probably have many questions: Why is the price so high? How long does it last? What should I pay attention to?
A high-quality cutting board is made from a solid piece of wood – without glue joints, carefully dried, hand-sanded, and oiled. The result: durable, stable, and a true unique piece. The price reflects material quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
A solid wood board is made from a single piece – no glue, no weak spots. Glued boards consist of several pieces connected together. They are often cheaper but may crack or warp faster when exposed to moisture or heat.
Typically: uniform grain, smooth surface, 3-4 cm thick, no glued edges, stable weight. High-quality cutting boards are made of oak, walnut, or maple and have a sealed surface that protects the wood and makes maintenance easier.
It is more robust, natural, and longer-lasting than glued variants. No cracking at the joints, no unevenness. Additionally, your knife stays sharper longer because the wood gives a bit flexibly and doesn't resist like glass or plastic.
Oak, walnut, ash, elm, and maple are among the best woods. They are hard, cut-resistant, hygienic, and ideal for kitchen, BBQ, and presentation. Soft woods like pine or beech are more prone to warping and cracking.
From 3 cm onwards, it is considered professional quality. Thick cutting boards are dimensionally stable, don't slip during use, and last for decades. Thin boards under 2 cm are often susceptible to warping and mechanical stress.
Wood is a natural product and moves – but with proper care, this isn't a problem. Important: oil regularly, use both sides, do not soak in water, and protect from heat (e.g., stove, dishwasher). This keeps your board stable and beautiful.
Clean it with a damp cloth (no detergent), do not leave it in water, and oil it every 2-4 weeks with natural oil. This keeps the wood supple and water-resistant. If needed, lightly sand with fine abrasive cloth.
Roughness can be quickly removed with fine abrasive cloth (grain 240-320). Stains can be treated with lemon juice, salt, or oil. Then oil it again regularly – so the wood remains well-maintained and hygienic.
Consider what you need: for meat & BBQ, a juice groove is practical; for antipasti, a smooth serving board. For large quantities, we recommend our chef station. Tips and comparisons can be found in our blog.
Our boards are hand-selected, made from a single piece of solid wood, and produced in small series with a lot of experience. Not mass-produced – but honest craftsmanship, visible and tangible in every board.

For all those who don’t just want to buy – but want to understand.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
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.
For the robust chef's board for the kitchen (also suitable as a burger & steak board)
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.
To the BBQ & Grill chef board for carving and serving
Our Chefstation is a modular system for professional demands: 4 cm thick oak, combined with removable GN containers, a stainless steel console, and an optional hygienic countertop. The perfect solution for structured preparation, clean work, and efficient processes – whether in the kitchen, at a BBQ, or catering.
To the boss station - where work becomes a pleasure
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.
To the Steak & Burger Board - present and enjoy becomes the motto
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.
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.
