In keeping with its commitment to sustainable initiatives, the Chicago Cutlery® brand, one of the first names in cutlery, now offers a stylish line of two-toned bamboo cutting boards. An eco-friendly, renewable resource that regenerates without replanting, bamboo is the smart alternative to traditional woods used in these accessories. Bamboo, a perennial evergreen—technically a grass—is one of the world’s fastest growing woody plants, with an accelerated growth rate that can exceed three-feet a day. Harder and denser than most hardwood boards, bamboo withstands the sharpest knives. And the boards are so attractive, they’re ideal for serving cheeses, canapés and more.
