The Heart of Your Kitchen Starts with a Cutting Board
A cutting board is more than a tool—it’s the foundation of every great meal. At Koppen, each board is designed to respect your knives, resist wear, and transition beautifully from prep to presentation. Crafted with premium hardwoods and modern techniques, these boards embody both durability and style.
Materials
Acacia
Acacia is valued for its warm golden-brown tones and distinctive grain. Beyond beauty, it’s a dense hardwood that resists cuts, wear, and moisture—helping prevent odors and bacteria. Affordable yet elegant, acacia is a favorite for everyday cooking and serving.
Teak
Renowned for strength, water resistance, and knife-friendliness, teak offers a self-healing surface that preserves blade sharpness. Koppen sources responsibly harvested teak to create boards that balance luxury with longevity—ideal for serious home cooks and professionals.
Bamboo
Koppen redefines bamboo boards with Thermo-Modified MoistureBlock™ Technology. This process boosts resistance to water and bacteria, making boards last three times longer than standard bamboo options. Lightweight, eco-friendly, and even dishwasher-safe, they suit modern, sustainable kitchens.
Construction
End Grain
End grain boards align fibers vertically, allowing the surface to “self-heal” after cuts. Heavy and durable, they provide a stable base for tough prep while being gentle on knives. Chefs prefer end grain for its professional-grade resilience.
Edge Grain
Edge grain boards arrange fibers horizontally for strength and affordability. Though firmer on knives than end grain, they offer smooth slicing, easy upkeep, and a lighter build—perfect for everyday use in home kitchens.
Choosing the Right Board
Different tasks call for different boards.
- Bamboo edge grain: lightweight, quick cleaning, great for sandwiches or fruits.
- Acacia: balances beauty, durability, and hygiene—versatile for daily cooking.
- Teak end grain: superior for heavy-duty chopping, carving, and bulk prep.
Many kitchens benefit from multiple boards—for meats, produce, and entertaining—ensuring safety and convenience.

- Knife-friendly surfaces that protect blades.
