Cutting Board Materials & Sizes

HexClad offers a few different types of cutting boards, each with their own distinct features and benefits:

HexClad Walnut Cutting Board

This top-of-the-line walnut cutting board isn’t just beautiful, with its smooth and rich contrasting grain finish, it’s also highly functional. Here’s an overview of its most notable features:

• Durable: Walnut is extremely dense and durable, which means this cutting board was built to last. If properly cared for, it will withstand frequent use over many years. 
• Scratch- and stain-resistant: The density of this board helps it to resist deep knife scratches, and repel stains over time.
• Antimicrobial: Walnut is naturally antimicrobial, and its density minimizes the chance of deep cracks that could harbor bacteria forming in the wood. This is especially important if you’ll be cutting produce or raw meat on your cutting board.
• Aromatic: Walnut naturally gives off a mild, pleasant aroma and is unlikely to absorb food odors.

The HexClad Walnut Cutting Board is available in two sizes, medium and large. Here are the specs for each: 

Medium:
Size: 15.75” x 11.75” x 1.25”
Weight: Five pounds

Weight: Eight pounds

HexClad Beechwood Cutting Board

Keeping with HexClad’s tradition of blending aesthetics and practicality, this extra large Beechwood board is as beautiful as it is functional, making it the perfect piece to take from countertop to table. Here’s a look at some of its standout features:

• Durable & knife-friendly: Beechwood is a moderate-density, durable wood that provides adequate resistance to knife cuts without being too hard on knife blades.
• Large surface area: Measuring 24 inches long and 18 inches wide, this cutting board is large enough to handle high volume meal prep. And, at 17 pounds and 1.5-inches thick, it’s certainly sturdy enough, too.
• Neutral: Beechwood is a non-aromatic wood, meaning it doesn’t have a strong natural scent or taste.

HexClad Hybrid Cutting Board

Featuring a double-sided design that enables both carving and chopping, this multipurpose cutting board is every home and professional chef’s dream. Here’s a look at what makes it so special:

• Multipurpose design: The board features one side ideal for carving and one side for chopping. The carving side has engraved hexagons and trenches, which together keep the meat from sliding around as you carve. The chopping side is perfectly smooth, enabling even, consistent cuts and chops.
• Durable and knife-friendly: The board is made of beechwood, which is dense enough to resist deep knife scratches but soft enough to protect your knives
• Scrap collection: A removable stainless steel tray is accessible from both sides of the board, and makes it easy to collect juices and scraps—so you can add them to a gravy or stock.
• Easy to move: The board includes a handle so you can move it around the kitchen with ease.
• Aesthetically pleasing: The board is light in color, but will become dark and rich over time.
