quality board, handy size
By K. Draper
I received this Wuestof cutting board as a gift, along with some Wuesthof knives and kitchen shears. (if you would like to read my reviews for these items, click on "see all my reviews".) It's a good combo; I only had plastic cutting boards, and the wooden ones better for your knives. Plastic ones (and don't get the really hard ones)are useful for cutting meat, and putting into the dishwasher; but the wood looks nicer. Also,it is made from bamboo, a renewable resource, and not from petrochemicals.

This 8X12 cutting board is just right size for slicing, dicing and chopping up a few veggies. The Wuesthof 4.5 inch "multi-prep cook's knife" works very well for this. The Wuesthof logo is imprinted on the front side, but I don't see "Emeril" on it anywhere. The back side of the board is a cutting board,too, but it also has four rubber "feet" which add stability when used right-side-up. Groves on either side provide easy hand-holds. Flip it right-side up, pair it with a cheese knife, and you're good to go for serving cheese.

Good price/value. Treat it well--don't use the dishwasher or serrated knives, condition it with mineral oil from time to time. Highly recommend.

For Light Use Only
By C. Cao
I have a set of bamboo cutting boards that are very thick and heavy. I like to think of these as quality items. After many years of use it still holds well but is feeling quite heavy these days.

With the mini Wusthof bamboo cutting board I feel this weight being lifted. I cannot use it for heavy tasks, such as slicing meaty products, but it is great for chopping small items like vegetables, fruits, and dicing garlic, for instance.

I enjoy this tool very much. It is light, easy to clean, and dries quickly enough for my next cutting task.

Nice, Simple Cutting Board
By Indie Insomniac
I received this cutting board along with a knife I had purchased and find it to be fairly useful. This isn't my primary cutting board and I wouldn't intend on using it as such, but it does come in handy. It's a good size for small cutting tasks. The bamboo makes it a somewhat attractive board, but also means added upkeep. An occasional light sanding and oiling will keep the board from fading under the wear of knife scratches and cuts. The grooves cut out on the sides of the board provide great handles. Price is fair for a bamboo cutting board. If you are looking for a deal, consider purchasing as a bonus with other Wusthof products.

Pros:
> Convenient size.
> Grooves on the ends provide good handles.
> Rubber feet provide stability and slip resistance.
> Attractive.
> Fair price considering that it's bamboo and carries the Wusthof name.

Cons:
> Must be hand washed.
> Fades unless oiled. Light sanding helps remove scratches.
