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.

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.

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.

I'm not sure how this board got this many positive reviews. I must've gotten a lemon. I know it's bamboo and constructed of four separate bamboo pieces but I thought this cutting board would last longer. I have uploaded a picture of the split board. I used it on a regular basis to do light cutting for vegetables. I'm a bachelor and I don't cook much, but I guess I was too much for this cutting board. I really wish I could get a refund.

I had not read measurements before buying---so my fault that I was bummed about the general size. However, I am very pleased with its look and the fact that it is very light weight. The little rubber feet on the bottom also help keep it from walking around the counter top. And since my mother is the one I bought it for as a gift, loves the size of it, we came out winners all around :)

Very good quality cutting board. Just the right size to store and use for everyday use.

The board is coated just enough where the smell of the previous veggie does not transfer into the board. I've been using it for several months now, and there is no smell to it whatsoever! There are some minor knife marks though, as expected, but nothing close to the amount of carving with the other wooden and plastic boards.

Oh and the "clink clink" sound that it makes every time the knife hits (because of the bamboo) makes you feel like a pro in the kitchen!!!

I bought my grandson a set of Wusthof knives for a collage graduation gift and Amazon showed the cutting board, so I ordered it for him as well.
He was so excited when he opened the gift and loved the knives and cutting board as well.
I wanted one too and ordered the very last one on-line. When it came I cut several things on it and just love it. It is just the right size and I did not notice any knife cuts appearing. I keep it next to the knife rack so it is handy to pull out whenever I need it. I had bought another Bamboo cutting board that is larger and heavier, but it hasn't been used much and already has knife cuts in it - and it was bought a couple weeks before the Wusthof cutting board. The Wusthof board is nicer than the more expensive one. You can't go wrong with it and certainly the price is right.

Got this and a set of knives for my wife and she loves it. Small and light weight but big enough to do all she wants / needs to do. Really like the bambo material as i am from the carpentry trade.

This is a wonderful board. It's the perfect size to keep in my bedroom at college but for any serious cooking you'll want something larger. I treated it with bamboo oil from crate & barrel which has done well to maintain its appearance. It also allows me to clean it by just using a damp paper towel. I wouldn't suggest putting this or any other cutting board through a washing machine as another reviewer did. Can't beat this board for the price.

Bamboo is a great material for 'protecting' the sharpened edge of your high-quality knives - especially santokus and other styles with smaller blade edge-angles. Pretty simple technology; it works as advertised - not too much else which can be said about a cutting board. Recommended; the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I cannot speak to the durability of this board yet. 4 out of 5 stars is praise enough, though, and as Wusthof is a traditionally trustworthy brand, I'm sure it will give me at least a few months of good service.
