For chopping fresh vegetables for a chef’s salad or slicing a succulent ham, not every kitchen comes equipped with an adequate cutting board. After crafting fine cutlery for 75 years, Chicago Cutlery well understands that chopping tasks demand a proper cutting surface. The Woodworks line provides a variety of attractive yet practical cutting boards to implement the standard kitchen, while also providing the convenience of mobility for the household chef. To enhance chopping space inside the kitchen, or to transport cooking tasks outdoors, Chicago Cutlery created this handy paddle board. The paddle board is crafted from beautiful kiln-dried Brazilian cherry wood. The quality construction not only protects kitchen counters and tabletops from abrasions, but also helps thwart dulling to knife blades. A shallow grooved border collects juices while expediting clean up. Reversible, chefs can opt to use one side of the paddle board for meats exclusively and reserve the other side for vegetables, fruits, and breads for enhanced food safety. The paddle board also can double as a serving platter for such appetizers as a cheese platter or presenting a steaming hot pizza. Users carry the board with ease by gripping the handle. The handle also comes equipped with a hanging hole for storage. For the best care, wash by hand and dry immediately. Soaking and use of abrasives may damage the long-term efficacy and beauty of the cutting board. Chicago Cutlery offers a lifetime guarantee for all products in the event of faulty materials or workmanship. The paddle board measures 14 by 7 inches and weighs one pound upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling
