End-grain acacia,
made for the knife.

A lekker heavy, double-sided board built from short blocks of solid acacia, set with the grain standing up. Your blade slips between the fibres instead of through them, so it's ready for braai day, the Sunday roast and everything in between.

The knife goes between the fibres, not through them

Most boards are cut along the grain, so every chop slices across long wood fibres. An end-grain board is assembled from short blocks turned on their ends, like a bundle of straws standing upright.

Kinder to your edge
The blade slips between the upright fibres, so your knives stay sharp for longer.
Light marks close up
Fibres part under the knife and settle back, so everyday cut marks fade instead of scarring the surface.
Two working sides
Keep one side for raw meat and the other for vegetables, fruit and bread.
Thick and steady
A thickened solid acacia build that sits flat and stays put while you work.

Look after it and it lasts for years

Wood is alive to water. A two-minute routine keeps it from drying out or warping.

  1. Wash by hand

    Warm water and a little dish soap straight after use. Never soak it and never put it in the dishwasher.

  2. Dry it standing

    Wipe it down and stand it on its edge so both faces get air and dry evenly.

  3. Oil it when it looks thirsty

    Rub in food-safe mineral oil or board cream when the wood turns pale, usually about once a month. Leave it overnight to soak in.
