Why use Hinoki cutting boards?

Hard surfaces like tile, stone, or acrylic, can dull your knives. Use softer boards that will “give” instead. Shun recommends Hinoki wood, a Japanese cypress prized for its durability, beauty, and light fragrance.

How do I take care of my Hinoki cutting board?

Wet the cutting board before each use; this will help resist staining. Wash the board with a mild detergent, then towel it dry. Finally, let it air-dry away from direct sunlight.

What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?

Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

How often should I sharpen my knife?

Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?

Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.

Beautiful, high quality and surprisingly fragrant

I have some shun knives so thought i would complement them with this chopping board. It's almost too nice to use, perfectly constructed, gently saunawood smell, looks very elegant. Worth taking the time to read how to care for it properly though (apparently good to dampen it a bit prior to each use) as I got a turmeric stain on it fairly early

Will take some looking after but should be worth it.

It might take a bit more looking after then plastic boards but will be much better for my knives.

Poor packaging and protection

The item itself is great quality, but for a soft wood that can be easily damaged, there was NO protection from the seller.No bubble wrap/filler and the delivery package itself was a flimsy paper bag. I have seen low priced, sturdy products delivered with more protection.In addition to this, I reached out to the seller and mentioned this but I have still had no response/acknowledgement almost a week later.
