I currently don't want to spend too much on a new cutting board but will need to get one with a new Gyuto I'll be getting.
I've narrowed it down to the following choices which are all around 18x12 inches unless otherwise stated, which one would you get? Or do you have another one that is better for the same price? I would love a boardsmith but it's out of my price range, =).
John Boos Chop-N-Slice Maple Cutting Board - $35

John Boos Reversible Maple Cutting Board - $60

Shun Hinoki Cutting Board - $60

Kodai Hinoki Cutting Board 20x12 - $80
https://www.cuttingboard.com/hinoki-cutting-board-large-20-x-12-x-1/
Burl & Blade Walnut Cutting Board 16x12 - $65
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CHIQQJQ/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
Some of my thoughts:
- if I go with one of the John Boos boards, is it worth spending an additional $25 to get the reversible version versus the chop-n-slice? I don't see a big difference.
- similarly, if I go with one of the Hinoki options is it worth spending an additional $20 to get the Kodai one vs the Shun one
- I like how the Burl & Blade Walnut one looks but board seems to be on the smaller end
Thanks!
