Review on John Boos Block WAL-B9S Square Walnut Wood Edge Grain Cutting Board With Feet, 9 Inches Square, 1.5 Inches Thick by James Handy

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Block for block, nice

I used this for about 6 months now, and is quite satisfy with the board.I do chop a lot with my cleaver. And it stand up to it.The color is not bad. But I don' t if I need to put that chopping board oil onEvery once in a while or not.The last board I had was half the thickness J A Henckels and about the same size and it lastedFor about 10 years and I don' t take care of it with oil or anything.I hope this can beat it.It a bit heavy and if your have granite countertop, just be carefully when using on top on it.I really hope they had included a rubber pad beneath each legs to soften the chopping blow.It does makes quite a bit of sound when chopping on granite.Update:The board buckle up a bit over time and the four leg is no longer level.

Pros
  • Very fine wood. Looks amazing
Cons
  • May not be as hygienic as plastic or bamboo cutting boards
