The short answer
Katori is a cutting board made from 100% pure titanium — the most hygienic, knife-friendly surface you can prep on. Because titanium is completely non-porous, it can't soak up juices, bacteria or smells, and it never sheds microplastics into your food the way a worn plastic board does. The laser-cut surface is gentle on blades, so your knives stay sharp; it's antibacterial, heat-proof, scratch- and stain-resistant, double-sided and dishwasher-safe, and it's built to last a lifetime. Every order from the official store is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Think about the board you're using right now. If it's plastic, every cut leaves a groove — and those grooves trap bacteria and flake off tiny plastic particles that end up in your food. If it's wood or bamboo, it's soaking up raw-meat juices and holding onto garlic and onion smells for days. If it's glass or stone, it's quietly destroying the edge of every knife you own. There has never been a single board that solved all of that at once — until titanium.
Below you'll find exactly how the Katori board works, why titanium beats every other material, how to use and clean it, and who it's really for.
How Katori works
Katori does one thing brilliantly — give you a prep surface that's hygienic and kind to your knives — and it comes down to the material:
- A non-porous titanium surfaceTitanium has no pores for liquid to seep into, so raw-meat juices, bacteria and odors simply can't get a foothold. Nothing soaks in, nothing lingers — a quick rinse or a run through the dishwasher and it's genuinely clean again.
- A laser-cut finish that protects your bladesThe precision surface is firm enough to cut on cleanly but designed to spare your edge, unlike glass, stone or steel that blunt a knife in weeks. Your blades keep their bite, and you sharpen far less often.
- Built to outlast your whole kitchenTitanium won't crack, warp, stain or wear out. There are no grooves to scrub, no plastic to replace every few months — you buy it once and it just keeps performing, day after day, year after year.
Why titanium beats every other cutting board
- No microplastics, ever — plastic boards shed particles into your food every time you cut; titanium sheds nothing. This alone is why we recommend making the switch.
- Truly antibacterial — the non-porous surface gives bacteria nowhere to hide, unlike the knife grooves in wood, bamboo and plastic.
- Keeps your knives sharp — gentle on blades where glass, stone and steel destroy them. Fewer trips to the sharpener, better cuts.
- Odor- and stain-resistant — no more garlic, onion or fish smell soaked into the board, and no red stains from beets or tomato.
- Heat-proof and dishwasher-safe — set a hot pan on it, then send it straight to the dishwasher. It won't melt, warp or degrade.
- Double-sided and lifetime-durable — two usable faces (keep raw and ready-to-eat separate) and a build that never needs replacing.

Created by a master chef
Kaito Mason, culinary coach & founder
According to the maker, Katori was created by Kaito Mason — a culinary coach with two decades as a master chef in Japanese cuisine — who was tired of choosing between hygienic boards that ruin knives and knife-friendly boards that harbor bacteria. Titanium, he found, was the one material that does both.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Katori titanium cutting board?
Katori is a cutting board made from 100% pure titanium. Its non-porous, laser-cut surface won't absorb juices, bacteria or odors and never sheds microplastics into your food the way plastic boards do. It's antibacterial, heat-proof, scratch- and stain-resistant, double-sided, dishwasher-safe and built to last a lifetime. It measures about 11.4″ x 7.9″ (29 x 20 cm).
Does a titanium cutting board dull your knives?
No. Unlike glass, stone or steel boards that quickly wreck an edge, Katori's surface is engineered to spare your blade, so knives stay sharp far longer than on hard boards. Most owners find they reach for the sharpener far less often.
Is the Katori board really more hygienic than wood or plastic?
Yes. Wood and bamboo are porous and can harbor bacteria in knife grooves; plastic scars quickly and releases microplastics as it wears. Titanium is completely non-porous, so bacteria and odors have nowhere to hide, and it rinses clean or goes straight in the dishwasher.
How do I clean it?
Just rinse it under the tap or put it in the dishwasher — nothing soaks in, so it comes clean easily. There's no oiling or special maintenance the way there is with a wooden board.
Is there a money-back guarantee on Katori?
Yes. The official store backs every order with a 30-day money-back guarantee: if the board isn't right for your kitchen, you can request a refund within 30 days of purchase through customer support.
