An end-grain acacia chopping board built to protect your edges. The grain runs vertically, so the fibres part around the blade and close back up after each cut. Solid acacia, 350 x 250 x 26mm, with the dense weight that keeps it planted on the bench while you work.

Your premium knives deserve a surface that protects their edge. This professional-grade cutting board is crafted from end-grain acacia wood, making it the ultimate partner for any high-performance blade. It’s not just a cutting surface; it’s knife maintenance.
Unlike standard "edge grain" boards where your knife slices *across* the wood fibers, this end-grain construction acts like a dense brush. The knife's edge glides *between* the vertical fibers, which then close back up after the cut. This "self-healing" design means a few things:
With a solid 26mm (1-inch) thickness, this board provides a stable, hefty, and confident platform for all your daily chopping, slicing, and dicing. No warping, no sliding—just a reliable surface for all your prep.
Pair with a Xinzuo MO Series Chef Knife or HEZHEN Supreme Santoku to build a high-performance prep setup.
Your cutting board arrives carefully packaged and ready to use. We recommend oiling with food-safe mineral oil before first use for best results.

XHCB END GRAIN
This is an end-grain board, which means the wood is oriented with the grain ends facing up. The blade meets the fibres head-on, parts them, then the wood springs back. The result is a softer landing for your edge and a surface that hides cut marks. Solid acacia gives it a dense, close grain and a warm, dark figure that earns a place on the bench.

WHY END GRAIN
Edge-grain and plastic boards meet the blade side-on, so every cut scrapes against the steel. End grain works differently. The vertical fibres absorb the blade and close back over the mark, which is gentler on a fine edge and helps the board resist deep, lasting cuts. Acacia's natural oils help it shrug off moisture and odours, so it stays clean between washes. At 26mm thick and 1.35kg, it has the heft to sit flat and steady while you prep.

HOW TO USE
At 350 x 250mm it gives you room to break down fruit, veg, meat, bread or cheese without crowding the knife. Use it as your daily prep board, then wipe it down and bring it to the table as a serving platter for cheese, charcuterie or carved meat. The dark acacia figure looks as good on the table as it does on the bench.
CARE
Hand wash only, never the dishwasher. Wash with warm soapy water, rinse, then dry it standing on edge so air reaches both faces. Oil it periodically with a food-safe mineral, olive or walnut oil to keep the timber sealed and prevent drying or cracking. Treated this way, the board stays flat and lasts for years.
FAQs
End grain means the wood is oriented with the grain ends facing up. The blade meets the fibres head-on, parts them, and the wood closes back over the mark. It is gentler on a knife edge than edge-grain or plastic, and it hides cut marks rather than scarring.
100% solid acacia wood, built in an end-grain construction with seamless splicing. Acacia has a dense, close grain and natural oils that resist moisture and odours.
350 x 250 x 26mm (roughly 13.8 x 9.8 x 1.0 inches), weighing about 1.35kg. That is a medium board with enough room for everyday prep and plenty of heft to stay put on the bench.
No. Hand wash only with warm soapy water, then dry it standing on edge. The dishwasher will dry the timber out and can cause warping or cracking.
Wash and dry after each use, and oil it periodically with a food-safe mineral, olive or walnut oil. This keeps the acacia sealed and stops it drying out. Cared for this way it lasts for years.
Yes. The dark acacia figure makes it a natural serving board for cheese, charcuterie or carved meat once you have wiped it down after prep.
