Teak is an excellent choice of wood for Japanese knives, as it is not overly hard and will not damage delicate knife edges. The TeakHaus 24 x 18 x 1.5 in. End Grain Cutting Board exemplifies this, offering a durable yet gentle surface. Soft maple and Hinoki wood are also good options for preserving sharpness. TeakHaus boards do not come with feet, but adding self-adhesive silicone feet—readily available at hardware stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s for around $2.30 per 8-pack—is a practical solution. These feet keep the board elevated to prevent trapped moisture and warping, while also providing stability during use. For even wear, you can occasionally remove the feet and flip the board, attaching them to the other side.
