Most kitchen utensils and accessories are meant to be kept tucked away in a cupboard or drawer, but the Ninja Cutting Board & Knife takes things in a decidedly different direction to infuse a distinct sense of character into the space.
Designed by Bar Davidovich and OTOTO, the cutting board itself features the shape and face of a ninja character that's carved out of wood. The knife features a katana-inspired design that can be stored directly in the rear to make it appear as the characters weapon when not in use to further personify the aesthetic.
The Ninja Cutting Board & Knife is ideal for small preparation tasks and will work excellently in compact kitchens where storage space is limited.
