Hinoki is a type of Japanese cypress renowned for its beauty as well as its delicate, natural fragrance. The Hinoki-Cypress has a unique force-absorbing density that protects your knife blades from chipping. Used in a cutting board, this medium-soft wood “gives” as you cut, helping to preserve the edges of your fine Shun cutlery. Quite simply put, hinoki is the perfect cutting surface for all your Shun knives.
