Innovative Kitchen-Storage Solutions
------------------------------------
In the late-1970's, when the gourmet-chef-tools market in the
U.S. was still in its infancy, J.K. Adams owner Malcolm Cooper,
Sr. conceived of the first slanted block. His goal was to
create a cutlery organizer that would hold knives at a low enough
angle that they could be easily removed from the block when it
was pushed back under a cabinet overhang. The J.K. Adams Kangaroo
block was launched in 1980--the first-ever slanted
block, and still the best.
Recognizing the many rtunities to improve kitchen storage,
J.K. Adams introduced the revolving "carousel" spice rack in 1982
followed by countless other well-designed storage products in the
years since, including the popular in-drawer tray in 1994,
a space-saving alternative to the block that offers the
same safety and blade protection.
In 2011, J.K. Adams takes cutlery storage to a new level once
again with the new Universal block. For over 30 years, J.K.
Adams has continued to lead and inspire the kitchen storage
market with their innovative designs, superior hardwoods, and
exemplary craftsmanship.
Today, J.K. Adams continues to provide innovative designs,
superior hardwoods, and high-quality craftsmanship.
J.K. Adams: Over 65 Years of New England Yankee Craftsmanship
-------------------------------------------------------------
Some of the world's finest woodworkers can be found in
New England. The rich heritage and folklore of the great Yankee
Woodworker is as well known today as it was hundreds of years
ago, and the craft has been handed down through the generations.
J.K. Adams' success is certainly attributable to the early
Vermonters employed by the company while in its infancy who
brought forth the techniques and quality craftsmanship that could
only come from generations of shared knowledge and experience.
The J.K. Adams factory has been at the same location since the
beginning. As many as three generations of families have relied
on J.K. Adams to provide for their families. Located in a rural
area of Vermont, J.K. Adams remains one of the largest employers
in the area and is an important pillar of support for the local
community.
J.K. Adams has always used the creativity and skill of their
workforce in developing new products, and today J.K. Adams
continues its New England craftsmanship with a wide variety of
cutting boards, as well as wooden salad s, kitchen islands,
and slate serving trays. And at the J.K. Adams factory, you'll
find future generations of woodworkers building upon the
traditions be over 65 years ago.
Cutting boards and other products by J.K Adams are made in the
North America.
About J.K. Adams' Logo
----------------------
In colonial New England, three strokes of a broad ax were used
to mark the finest trees in the forest for the Queens' Navy
shipmasts. The broad arrow was adopted as our logo because it
symbolizes the exceptional quality of wood that goes into our
products.

Why Choose a Wood Cutting Board?
--------------------------------
Wood is naturally anti-bacterial, and any bacteria left on the
board will actually lessen in time versus multiplying on a
plastic cutting board. A wooden board will also be more gentle on
your 's edge, and it just feels and sounds better under a
.
Caring for Your J.K. Adams Cutting Board
----------------------------------------
Wash by hand in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly, and oil
frequently with mineral oil to help give it an optimal
appearance. Do not soak, microwave, freeze, or put in the
dishwasher. For removing stains, you can use a weak
bleach-and-water solution or a combination of lemon juice and
salt. Be sure to rinse and wipe with mineral oil afterward.
Additionally, the surface can be sanded to make the board look
like new--although a board with wear will add character to your
kitchen. For storage, keep the board away from strong sunlight as
avoiding UV rays will reduce the risk of fading.
