Yet another crafty Snow Peak camping product where you look at it and think ‘why has no-one else thought of that?’. This chopping board folds flat for packing, and the knife sits inside it, held securely by a magnet to stop it rattling around. When you unfold the board, small rubber feet keep it stable while you're chopping – which is just the kind of detail that you’d expect from this famously perfectionist Japanese brand. The board itself is natural wood with stainless steel fittings, and the knife is high carbon vanadium stainless steel with a black laminated plywood handle – a genuinely high-quality kitchen knife that’ll hold a razor edge. Choose between two sizes: the medium is perfect for picnics and backpacking trips where weight matters, while the large is substantially bigger and heavier – giving you a full-sized chef's knife and proper workspace for meal prep at your campsite or in the camper van.
Snow Peak's journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
