As the title suggests, I'm looking for a smaller end grain cutting board. What's out there? Should I consider a non-wood option? It'll be used for everything except raw meat.

I have a 14x20 that I use for meal prep, but I like having a smaller one for odds and ends. Easier to take to the sink, a little more maneuverable with our awkward kitchen layout. The smaller one that I currently use is an older 10x14 edge grain. It's been slowly warping over the years and is due for replacement.

I see Boardsmith has Sidekicks that are 9x12. That's probably my top choice, but I wish it was a little bit larger. Beyond Boardsmith, it seems most of the internet market is edge grain, Etsy, or more suspect teak boards.
 
The Boardsmith sidekicks are small but mine still gets a lot of use.

I'd bet that John would build a custom to your specs if you ask.
 
Im thinking of getting a butcher and a sidekick in the new year. I need to work harder to involve The Boy in cooking.
 
I just got a Cherry End grain 12" x 10" x 1.25" with rubber feet for ~$66 Shipped.

I've been using it a ton when I dont wanna pull out my big Larch board.

It's pretty damn great.

Here's a couple Pics

How do you keep the food smell off the board? Would you say wood is better for that?
 
Larchwood one hander is a great board for a good price, i went with the random pattern one as i prefered the look. That is a size large with a 240 morihei on top.
