Lindy Cutting Board [large]

The right cutting board makes a big difference to how long your Japanese knife stays sharp.

When developing Lindy, we wanted to create a board from locally sourced wood that would be gentle on the blade, pleasant to use, and practical for everyday prep. After extensive testing, we found the answer in linden: a soft wood with deep roots in European culture and tradition.

Linden wood is gentle on fine knife edges and offers a quiet, controlled cutting feel. Its softer surface helps reduce the impact between the blade and the board, preserving the sharpness of Japanese knives for longer. It also gives ingredients a stable surface, making prep smoother, safer, and more precise.

In Japan, traditional cutting boards are often made from hinoki wood because it is soft, light, and kind to sharp blades. With Lindy, we followed the same principle and found a European alternative in linden: a blade-friendly wood with its own natural character.

Lindy is handmade by Monoles, a small family-run woodworking workshop where each board is made with care, and designed for everyday use with Japanese kitchen knives.
