(Unlike typical synthetic boards.) The wood core makes it 30-50% lighter than other solid plastic cutting boards. Handling the cutting boards becomes much easier, leading to better hygiene and maintenance. Also, the risk of injury is lower if you drop it. It does not easily warp or bend under long-term use or high-temp washing. It is always stable and dish-washer safe. The soft materials applied to the surfaces make it very blade-friendly, which helps maintain a sharp blade on knives. Also, the grippy surface prevent ingredients from moving when cutting, suitable for delicate cuts!
