Hasegawa Rubber Wood Core Cutting Board - FSR Series

The Hasegawa FSR Series (Pro-Soft Lite) is a soft-surface cutting board designed to preserve the razor-sharp edges of high-quality Japanese knives. Featuring a specialised rubberised surface, it cushions the blade upon impact, significantly extending the life of your edge compared to traditional hard boards.

The board is constructed with a rigid wood core that prevents warping and reduces weight by approximately 30-50% compared to solid synthetic boards. The surface is antibacterial and designed for hygiene, making it ideal for home kitchens.

This board is available in multiple sizes. Please select your desired size from the options.

What's Included

  • 1 x Hasegawa Rubber Wood Core Cutting Board - FSR Series (Size selected at purchase)
 

Key Features

  • Blade-Friendly Surface: The soft material absorbs the impact of the knife edge, keeping blades sharper for longer.
  • Rigid Wood Core: A sterilised wood core prevents the board from bending or warping under high temperatures.
  • Lightweight & Easy to Handle: The wood core construction makes the board significantly lighter than solid plastic alternatives.
  • Hygienic & Antibacterial: The non-absorbent surface resists mould and bacteria growth (SIAA Certified).
  • Non-Slip Texture: Features a subtle surface texture to keep ingredients stable while cutting.

Care Instructions

  • Dishwasher Safe: Safe for use in dishwashers (Heat resistant up to 90°C).
  • Bleach Safe: Noticeable dirt on the cutting board can be cleaned with the appropriate use of bleach.
  • No UV Sterilisation: Do not sterilise with ultraviolet rays as there is a risk of discolouration.
  • Avoid Heavy Chopping: Not recommended for hard or heavy chopping (e.g., with cleavers or on bones).
  • Safety Warning: Stop using immediately if the wood core becomes exposed.
  • If the board develops deep scratches, use a Hasegawa Scraper to resurface the board.

Use & Care
  • Knife care guide: Cleaning, sharpening and storing your Japanese knives.
  • Cutting board guide: Caring for your Japanese rubber cutting board.
  • Knives: Hand wash and dry immediately after use — never the dishwasher. It's the single biggest thing you can do for the blade and handle.
  • Sharpening: A whetstone keeps Japanese knives at their best — honing rods designed for Western knives can be too harsh for harder Japanese steel.
  • Storage: Store knives in a block, on a magnetic strip or with blade guards — loose in a drawer damages the edge.
