The wooden countertop protector takes on a nearly rectangular shape, like its run-of-the-mill counterparts, but carves a gentle curve along three of its sides. A slot has been incised in the thickest corner of the [chopping board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compleat-cutting-board-set), creating a place to store the [lumber-handled chef's knife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiskars-all-steel-santoku-knife) inside. When the smaller blade is inserted into the food prep surface, the piece takes the appearance of a substantial meat-slicing implement.
