An extremely clever design that actually works. Many times clever designs come across as being cute or trite. This is not the case with this Quistgaard cutting board. With a removable knife that doubles as a handle, it is utilitarian and smart. I'd classify it as one of my favorite Quistgaard designs.
Last year I picked up a larger version of this same board that I haven't been able to bring myself to sell, so I think this smaller board (the smallest of 3 sizes available) will probably hang around for a while. It is also an early production model, and marked with one of Dansk's first logos, featuring three ducks in a triangular formation. These early pieces are quite desirable, which also plays a lot into my thoughts that I'll have a hard time letting it go.
Found on April 29, 2005 in Minneapolis, MN.
