Mango Leaf 17004 Bamboo Paddle Cutting Board, Set of 3 Review

Average Reviews:

This is a good value because you get 3 sturdy bamboo cutting boards, of different sizes. The handle makes it great carrying the food to your cooking pot or table. I have a much larger, heavy tabletop bamboo board for the really big stuff like whole chickens, etc. So these are really handy for cutting and transporting, and display/serving.
It was awaiting availability from the manufacturer when I ordered it. I was willing to wait. But after a couple of weeks, with no estimated arrival date, I emailed Amazon. They were no help, just brushed me off with "we have no info from the manufacturer". Well, can't you call them? I ended up contacting the manufacturer Mango myself, who initially did not answer. My 2nd email said "please respond", which they did, with a date for availability. I forwarded that email to amazon, who again ignored it. I emailed amazon again, then finally got a "oh, you ordered it through US. I guess we'll be getting it soon..." Obviously the employee does not read emails fully.
Lazy manufacturer and Amazon.

Bamboo Cutting Board Review

Bamboo Cutting Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This particular board is made with the end-grain facing up - a must for those of you who have an investment in your cutting utensils. With the end grain up, your knives will not "cut" the board rather, they'll "slip between" the fibers thus protecting the ever important sharp edge of your knives.
I have three sizes of these bamboo boards and they are quite striking to look at with the two-tone colors. They are heavier than you'd think although slightly lighter than the same sized wood boards. I recommend you use food-grade mineral oil or bees wax on the board before you use it as the bamboo will absorb some coloring from items you cut. I also found that acidic foods will also stain the bamboo, even after treating the board first. That aside, these are very nice boards, thick and sturdy. Although I haven't had them long enough to say they won't crack, they seem very well constructed and don't have a grain pattern like wood so likely won't split like a wood board can do if you let it spend too much time soaking and/or let it dry out too much.
I like them and hope they give the years of service I expect from them.

Naturally antimicrobial end-grain bamboo will not dull knives, absorb water, crack or peel. Bamboo's high-density composition is stronger than hardwood and fully sustainable as a naturally- replenishing resource. Harder than maple, first-grade end-grain bamboo makes a durable, beautiful cutting board. Handcrafted. Hand wash. Imported.

Architec Gripperwood Sheesham Cutting Board, 12 by 16-Inch Review

Average Reviews:

Just received the cutting board, so this is not a review of the board's functionality, but rather its appearance. The smaller size of this cutting board had 4 reviews, all of which gave 5 stars, so I was excited about receiving this product. My response to seeing it for the first time was mixed. While it made of a very attractive wood, the workmanship was somewhat disappointing. I did not expect there to be an obvious spot of wood putty filling in the porousness of a knot in the wood. Not only was it very evident that it was a wood putty patch, it had not been sanded down properly and was a bit rough on its surface. While it was located on the periphery of the board and probably won't interfere with its functionality, it was still disappointing. I will probably keep the board because I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it and I don't expect the putty to keep the board from doing its job.

I knew when I was searching for a cutting board that I needed a nice sturdy wood one so my knives would last their longest. This one has proved to be excellent. It cleans very easily, never slips, and has plenty of room even if I can't move my vegetables off of it before I need to chop more.

Average Reviews:

I like the raw edge trend and thought this cutting board would make a good presentation piece for cheeses. In person it's less of a true raw edge and more that one edge is distressed or sanded down. So it doesn't have the same rugged, earthy visual impact as pictured. Also there was a bit of a putty repair on the surface which is fairly obvious. However it is a solid board, the wood is good quality and it doesn't slip. So if you're looking for a utilitarian cutting board this is fine, but if you're searching for more of a unique statement piece it's not a great choice, the detail work just isn't there.

Out of the Woods of Oregon 11-Inch Round Cutting Board Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this because it is made from real wood and from Oregon, not imported. I like the litte size. Very cute round and great drip edge! The drip edge is very deep. I don't see how I can make a mess with it.
I like this size for quick chops. Yes, you can see some marks from the knife, but that is better than on the counter. Easy to clean and drys up quick.
I look forward to buying other pieces. I checked out the manufacturers website and they have a very large offering of products. I bought a bread knife and a larger rectangular board as well. With the 4-3 offer, I got a left handed bread knife for my brother in law's xmas gift!
Did I mention, it feels like you are using a work of art? The wood is beautiful, very rich in tone and color. The natural variation is gorgeous.

At $40, pass on this pair, but at about half that cost, you'll be very pleased. The size of the board was no surprise to me, as I looked at its image compared to the image of the knife. The knife is just fine for bread, which is what it's sold for. If you're looking for a carving knife, make another selection. Need a paring knife? Not this one. Bread knife? Yep, this is it. I also use it for tomatoes and cake. The only knife I own that I run through the dishwasher.
