Intelligent Design All Fifth & Cherry boards use 100% end grain cherry wood which is better for your knives, keeping them sharper and safer; and reducing knife grooves which can harbor dangerous bacteria. Extraordinary Construction The specific techniques we use — like steel pin reinforcement, hand clamping and gluing, and our staggered-block design — are unique to Fifth & Cherry and create a board of unparalleled quality and durability. Artisan Craftsmanship Each board goes through our unique 28-step process to create a beautiful, functional work of art that is guaranteed to last forever. Every Fifth & Cherry board is individually serialized, certifying that it is truly one of a kind, and can be registered to trace the board's history. Responsibly Sourced Every Fifth & Cherry board is handcrafted in the USA and made with 100% ethically sourced, FSC® certified, American Black Cherry wood from Northern Pennsylvania and New York. Unmatched Service An industry first, Fifth & Cherry offers a Free Lifetime Refinishing Guarantee on all cutting boards.
