Hello,
I wanted to see it there is a preference among people on whether an End Grain Walnut vs Hinoki cutting board is better for japanese knives ?
Thanks

I used to experience some warping on one of my thinner Hinoki boards.
The key to avoid this is wetting/moistening both sides prior to use, not just the side you're going to cut on.
I love my Hinoki boards for all the reasons Paraffin mentioned.
If I could just find an Aomori Hiba board(the bee's knees IMO like Khashy said) that was around 30 cm deep I would be ecstatic.

I have the 480 x 235 mm Wasabi board. It's a bit too small for a 240-ish gyuto and doesn't really have enough room for many ingredients at the same time, but man I love that board.
Cool, thanks!Here:

He was kind enough to make a special order for me direct to Japan. Contact them and I’m sure they’ll be able to help
I already have a walnut but considering a ~16-17" x ~10-11' x 1-1.25" cutting board and tempted by another walnut or hinoki to try.Curious on why you've limited the choices to just those to woods? Personally I'm a huge fan of end grain maple. .

I don't like maple.
Thank you all. I will give a try with a hinoki
is there a brand you would recommend ?

if anyone has other recos . thank you !!
Those all look fine IMO. Personally, I wouldn't pay the premium for the Miyabi board compared to the others. I may be wrong, but I can't see it being that much better than the alternatives. After all we're more or less talking about a piece of Hinoki plank.I already have a walnut but considering a ~16-17" x ~10-11' x 1-1.25" cutting board and tempted by another walnut or hinoki to try.
