35% Off Hasegawa Cutting Boards Only Until Midnight Thursday

For Only 24 Hours (and the First Time Ever), Hasegawa’s Cutting Boards are 35% Off

Japan’s Hasegawa dishwasher-safe boards have high-quality, nonslip rubber coating—so your knives and fingers will be treated like royalty. Both models are a rare 35% off until midnight tomorrow with code HASA35.

Dear Milk Streeter,

I am a fanatic about cutting boards because most of them have at least one horrible flaw: too small, too large, too heavy or too hard on my knives. And you may be wondering: Do cutting boards matter in terms of knife care? The simple answer is YES. You can easily dull your knife edge if the cutting board does not give a little when the knife edge presses down.

The best and most comfortable cutting boards in the world—the ones I use—are made by Hasegawa in Japan.

Built from a wood core with layers of soft plastic (feels like a cushion for your knife), the boards will kiss your knife, not dull the edge. That wood core even keeps the cutting board from warping from use and high-temperature dishwashing. It’s like cutting on the softest, most forgiving surface—and it’s used by sushi chefs. Plus, the boards have strong antimicrobial properties for those of you who worry about contamination.

If you want to enjoy cutting, slicing and chopping, start with the world’s best cutting board. We have both the large and smaller model in stock and discounted at a rare 35% off (use code HASA35)—but not for long, as they’re one of the most hard-to-find items for your kitchen. We run out constantly!

Kind regards,

Christopher Kimball

35% Off: Hasegawa Wood Core Soft Rubber Cutting Board

A softer board is the best thing you can do to maintain a knife’s edge. Materials like plastic, engineered woods, marble and even glass can destroy a blade. Hasegawa’s original board is coated in layers of soft rubberized plastic that provides much better protection for your knives—while the nonslip design offers better protection for your fingers.

And there’s less jarring when cutting on a softer board, making prep work less demanding on joints and hands. The material has strong antimicrobial properties—one of the highest standards in Japan—so it won’t hold germs as much as a standard cutting board. And since it’s not entirely made of wood, it’s much more lightweight than all-wood versions.

35% Off: Hasegawa Pro PE Lite Cutting Board

Milk Streeters already loved our larger Hasegawa cutting board, so when we tested this version, we knew we had to bring it in. Made with a striking black surface—perfect for showing your ingredients in sharp relief without being prone to staining—the Hasegawa Pro PE Lite has a wood core that keeps the board sturdy at a much lighter weight, especially when compared with a plastic board.

Try it for veggies, fruit, cheese, nuts and herbs. It’s the perfect board for meat or fish, too: The grippy polyethylene cutting surface holds on to meat and keeps it from sliding (and it’s anti-bacterial and bleach-safe for when you’re done). You’ll find yourself pulling out this sleeker, smaller version of the Hasegawa for all of your everyday jobs.
