Founded in 1908, Kaiyin is Japan's largest knife manufacturer and the most well-known kitchen knife brand, with a century-old history of knife making. The cutting board, which is inseparable from kitchen knives, is also a representative product of Beiyin, and it is the quality choice in the hearts of domestic kitchen knife players.
Japanese wooden cutting boards are generally made of cypress, a kind of wood with an aromatic aroma, the hardness of cypress cutting boards is lower than that of wooden cutting boards in China, Europe and the United States, and when used with Japanese high-hardness kitchen knives, it can play a role in protecting the blade, and it is not easy to destroy the sharpness of the blade, for users who use high-hardness kitchen knives, cypress cutting boards are a very good choice.
Beiyin's cutting boards are divided into two product lines, Xun and Guansun Liu, both of which are very lightweight, with a weight of less than 1 kg in 40x24x2.5cm specifications, while other wooden cutting boards of the same specification are more than 2 kg, in addition to the wood drying process, it is also related to its softer wood. Guan Sun Liu is an edge grain structure, made of multiple pieces of wood mortise and tenon joints, with meticulous workmanship, smooth surface and no burrs, and the price is between 350 and 500 yuan.
Xun is a high-end product line of Beiyin, but the material and process of the cutting board are the same as those of Guan Sun Liu, but it is thicker than the cutting board of Guan Sun Liu, with a thickness of 2.5cm, with a hanging hand opening design, the price is slightly higher than 100 yuan, and the size is more suitable as a commonly used cutting board, with good durability, good cutting feeling, and a sense of cutting without biting the knife.
European and American brands of cutting boards have a relatively high hardness, the wooden structure is also relatively compact, and is more affected by dry shrinkage and wet expansion, so it is necessary to prevent the cutting board from drying out and cracking during daily use. However, it should be noted that the shell seal juniper cutting board is not suitable for chopping, the texture is soft, and the shell seal juniper cutting board is a radial texture structure, that is, the longitudinal section of the wood, if you chop vigorously, the wood fiber is easy to break, and the cutting board surface leaves knife marks, so it is best to only use it for daily cutting and cooking.
