Why choose HASEGAWA Pro-Soft Lite?
Gentle on edges
The soft elastomer surface cushions blade contact and reduces stress on the edge.
Rigid wooden core
Layered construction helps resist unwanted bending.
Practical size
The 46 × 26 cm format saves space on the counter.
Easy care
Double-sided use, SIAA treatment and dishwasher suitability under manufacturer guidelines.
Rigid core, soft surface
The enclosed wooden core is protected by polymer layers. A soft elastomer cutting surface offers more give than conventional hard plastic boards while the core maintains rigidity.
Marek's tip – why a good cutting board matters
When choosing a quality knife, people often focus on steel and hardness, but the surface they cut on matters just as much. A softer board is gentler on fine edges, and this compact size works well in an everyday home kitchen.
