End grain is kinder to an edge and heavier to lift · review
A large 45 × 30 cm (17.7 × 11.8 in) bamboo board with a juice groove — and a claim about being blade-friendly that deserves the nuance this site applies elsewhere.
What we would actually buy The size and thickness are right. The "blade-friendly" claim is the maker’s, and this site’s own pages say bamboo is harder than hardwood.
A 45 × 30 × 2 cm (17.7 × 11.8 × 0.8 in) board in 100% bamboo with a juice groove, which the maker describes as antiseptic and gentle on blades.
Both right. 45 × 30 cm (17.7 × 11.8 in) is a real working surface, and 2 cm (0.8 in) is thick enough to resist the cupping that ends thin boards.
Bamboo is a grass, and it is harder than beech, maple or acacia. It is far kinder to an edge than glass or stone, and it is not as gentle as a hardwood board. Our own answers pages say so, and the difference is worth knowing before choosing between this and the acacia boards here.
Too big for most sinks. Plan to wash it at the sink rather than in it, both faces, and stand it on edge to dry.

Harder than beech, maple or acacia, and far kinder than glass or stone. Our answers pages put it between the two, and this listing’s claim of being especially gentle is the maker’s rather than ours.
It is the maker’s wording about bamboo’s natural properties. Treat any board that has handled raw meat as needing a proper wash regardless.
