I (in particular in terms of material, ie plastic or wood) decided after a long search on the net, what type of cutting board, it has to be because now you go, and sometimes nerve-wracking contributions in various forums for me that I - No board Plastic want, because wood is also easy to clean, just stop just not allowed in the dishwasher / should and - I ultimately a board made of bamboo (the well known, not wood, but botanically a grass) to acquire remember. But even with the decisions taken, the choice of bamboo cutting boards is so great that I had fears of being able to never make up my mind for one or the other board. Finally, I came by such a reference in a forum on the sales people "Lurch", so called website, "want to have" seen and board. Today it arrived, even the packaging made me hope in terms of a desired product weight of the board. Unpacked and amazed: the board (at least mine) is despite the glued layers completely flat on the countertop, the processing is completely simply impeccable. Really great the milled bevel is back where it is possible to capture either "fleeing" cut, or the leaking sap of various foodstuffs collected. If you want to with this slope does not work, simply turn no problem, Brett, it's back to plan, since the peripheral frame allows a kippelfreies sided benefits easily. The weight is high enough to not constantly slipping on the worktop back and forth, I like it very much, otherwise you need appropriate Feet / buffer which, when they are not screwed but glued, have only a short half-life, so I feel a high basic weight as an advantage. As I said, finish is impeccable, no rough spots, the layers meticulously glued, a nice, branded logo on front right (though more reminiscent of a gecko as a Lurch, but what the heck), it looks nice! I would recommend this board to all those who might be their quality knives do not want (yes, the Japanese cut their super sharp knives for centuries on bamboo, so can not be wrong, eh !?) and ruin would have a board that certainly has the potential to keep a small eternity. Buy!
