Checkerboard Acacia Kitchen Block with Recessed Handles 43x30.5cm

A one-of-a-kind wood

Acacia wood is a great choice for a busy kitchen: it's sturdy, handles moisture well and stands up to repeated cutting. Its checkerboard effect isn't just decorative, it also brings visual depth and instantly gives more character to the worktop. Since it's a natural material, every block has its own wood shading.

Some weight, but for good reason

At 2.73 kg and 3.5 cm thick, this block stays firmly in place while you cut. It doesn't give that flimsy, shifting-board feeling at the slightest movement. To move it, the two recessed handles on the sides make it easier to lift, whether to put it away or bring it to the table.

Cook without feeling cramped

Its 43 x 30.5 cm dimensions offer a real work surface for comfortably cutting vegetables, bread, meat, cheese or charcuterie. The wooden surface stays gentle on blades, which helps preserve the sharpness of your knives. And once your prep is done, its neat look also lets you use it as a serving board.

Simple care to keep it for years

Wash it by hand with lukewarm water, a mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry it quickly with a clean cloth after washing, to keep moisture from staying in the wood.

As the block is oiled for transport, we recommend washing it before its first use.

The must-have kitchen accessory!

Use

• Cut with a straight, linear motion. Twisting motions damage the cutting edge and can break the blade.
• Use a wooden cutting board. Glass or marble dull the cutting edge over time.

Cleaning

• Wash by hand with a soft sponge and mild soap, then rinse with lukewarm water. Abrasive surfaces are not suitable for the steel.
• Oil the blade from time to time with a neutral mineral oil to protect it.

Sharpening

• Don't wait until the blade is completely dull: regular maintenance on a 1000-grit whetstone keeps an excellent cutting edge without removing too much material.
• Match the whetstone's grit to the condition of the blade — coarse grit to restore a very dull edge, fine grit to polish.
