Edge Grain vs. End Grain: Choosing the Perfect Board

When selecting a cutting board, understanding the difference between edge grain and end grain can help you choose the best option for your needs.

End Grain

Known as the chef’s choice, end grain boards are designed for heavy-duty use. The wood fibers in the grain act like vertical straws, allowing knives to glide through without dulling the blades or leaving marks on the surface. This makes end grain boards an excellent tool for professional and home chefs alike.

Both styles are exceptional, offering durability and functionality with the timeless beauty of natural wood.

Edge Grain

Boards with an edge grain design showcase the beauty of natural wood grain patterns, making them perfect for charcuterie presentations or everyday chopping. While they’re softer on blades compared to bamboo or plastic, edge grain boards may develop small knife marks over time, which can be easily sanded out to maintain their appearance.
