Japanese Quality at a very fair price!
What I have for review today folks is a product that I have been using for a few years now, since 2019 to be exact; this is the Snow Peak Cutting Board and knife set and it’s an ingenious processing solution for outdoor cooking enthusiasts.
This versatile combo set combines a foldable birch wood cutting board with a high-carbon stainless steel knife and in this review, I’ll be going over my list of pro’s and con’s after testing this out for multiple years.

I've seen Luke use this long enough that didn't wait for the review. I have 2, they are, as Luke says, extremely sharp! I love it, used it for over a year now and have had no issues! Thanks Luke!!
Hi Luke, love ur video. SnowPeak is not only a Japanese company, but it is also located in a city called Tsubame Sanjyo (2 cities to be precise), which is Japan's one of the most famous regions of traditional metal products. The craftsmanship of metal products from this city is excellent! Maybe thats why the knife is so sharp : )
I have the Large version of this set and it also fits into my Snow Peak IGT table as a 1-unit insert. It also has a very pleasant scent. Reminds me of the good times outdoors every time I pull it out for camping. 😊
Japanese quality is obviously apparent with this product. With all the health issues being mentioned about plastic cutting boards, this is a good choice for outdoor use. Giving this kit the recommended TLC will keep it looking like new and surely make it last longer. I have used similar products while living in Japan and East Asia and have never had any issues. Snow Peak, along with DOD Outdoors (previously reviewed by Luke), are both high quality camping gear outfitters from Japan 🇯🇵 that do not disappoint. This septuagenarian can honestly recommend this cutting board//knife set. This product is one that can definitely be passed on to your future generations for their enjoyment in their outdoor adventures!😊
Hi Luke! Thank you so much for reviewing snow peak, my daughter, while living in Japan, had told me about this, but I very much reluctant, until now, however, I discovered some items on snow peaks website can be really expensive. Thank you brother. love your channel and content. FYI, my wife and I really love the ending music of your videos. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️👊🏿
They could have molded on two small pieces of whetstone on the sides of two varying grit levels so that you can always have a sharp knife. If I had designed that I would certainly have integrated that on there. That way you can always be sure the blade is sharp.
Something you could custom do with a router
Then the product would be more expensive. I think $50 is already pushing it as it is. You can get a nice OXO cutting board 2 pack and a Mercer culinary Deba knife (Japanese-style knife) off of Amazon for the same price, both brands of which you'd see in restaurant kitchens across the country. Of course, those items aren't camping-style equipment, but still, for that price range you're competing with actual professional culinary equipment. Plus, the smaller the whetstone, the harder it is to sharpen (same goes for stropping).
The sharpest the knife, the safest it is.
Nice product and great review, Luke. Cheers from Canada.
Nice review Luke, thanks. My two cents: I was concerned about the hinged area collecting food as you cut and bleeding any juice through to the table. The other thing is about the recess for the blade. While it would make it easier to remove the knife with a finger on either side, it does force you to turn the knife as you lift it, putting the blade sharp side down and away from you. But it does look like a really good product.
Stay safe and God bless.
Hi Luke! I've seen this outfit in many of your adventures, Looks amazing! I already have a camp kitchen setup that is portable, so probably won't have one, but it looks VERY well made!
I have this knife set and love it. I not only use it for camping, but sometimes at home. That being said I wish the knife handle had some texture to it so it was not so slippery when it gets moisture on it from the foods. I keep a paper towel with my kit just in case it gets slippery. I treat my board about every six months or so as well. I do wish the company offered a good sharpener as well.
Really appreciate your reviews! Thanks!
A Dremel with a cone shaped grinder bit would add just the perfect divot on the bottom side of the knife handle area where it sits in the cutting board
Another great review by TOGR, ty Luke!
Seems like a good knife set to me because I trust Luke’s opinion and Snow Peaks reputation. I bought an expensive Japanese Shun Chef’s knife (over $100) a year ago, but it is overkill for me since I’m not a professional chef and to be honest would probably be better off with something like this Snow Peak knife.
You could easily router out another notch in that wood to make it easier to get the knife out. Seems like a good product.
Nice car camping item. When it comes to a pack though I'm only going to have freeze fried meals and a Toaks pot.
Just a simple product that does perfectly what it is intended to do while being sturdy over the years, perfect... wishlisted that^^
I own the snow peak large version and use it daily in home and away. Listen, it comes sharp as a knife should but it is not so ridiculously sharp like my Benchmade knifes came. As with any knifes, use caution and proper cutting techniques and you will be fine. I find with daily use I have to sharpen with an ultra fine stone once a week then leather strop, but hold and edge well even when cutting through chicken bones.
My Benchmade Presidio 2 came disappointingly dull than I expected. And apparently it's now discontinued
Yeah, my camp knife for the last 20years has been a Buck 105. Never needed anything else.
Watched the video and have purchased on impulse. £26 on amazon uk sealed the deal.
I will like to add that the larger unit of this cutting board can double as 1 unit insert cover of the standard IGT table.
Imo, the cutting board looks good, but even for car camping if I was going to take something that large might as well have a pairing knife and a utensil set or 2 inside. I didn't go to their website so maybe they offer something similar. Small ceramic sharpening rod would be nice too.
High carbon steel or stainless? 2 different animals, im a welding instructor
Very nice
You could take a palm router and add another inset to be able to grab the knife easier
Also i believe for minimalist or tiny home living, buying both the medium and large versions of this product would be super smart, 2 different sized knives and cutting boards, super compact and versatile
dang and to think i subsisted on cans of tuna fish for week long backpacking trips lol
Howdy, didn’t know stainless steel came in high carbon. Need to check it out.
A magnet will not stick to stainless steel.
@@adamtedder700 so it’s high carbon only? Amazon calls it stainless.
@@adamtedder700 A magnet does not attract austenitic stainless steel. But does stick to other types of stainless steel such as martensitic, ferritic ones.
What are you using for a sharpening system?
Maybe you can use a Dremel tool to carve out the additional cutout.
The recess is called French fitting. Only reason I know is my upholstery scissors ✂️ came in a box like that. Many tool guys customize their toolboxes that way.
I got this. The knife went dull after the first use. I still use it to this day.
Ever done a review of the Gerber ComplEAT set? I keep looking at it over and over
I know it's not a bushcraft knife but definitely should mention it doesn't look to be full tang
Like it want one
A quick question if you have a moment. Have you ever used a 'Plasma lighter' for Camping? If so, your thoughts?
What are the measurements of the latch? What is the thread size of the screws holding on the latch?
Luke … excellent video and I agree on all fronts. The single extraction notch can be duplicated with a drimel tool (sp) in less than 30 minutes. Seal where the second notch was added and you’re good to go. It would work especially for me as all I do is car camping or motel staying!!! God bless you and Susie and keep the videos coming.

There is no such thing as a "high carbon stainless steel". It is either or.
Not stating the exact steel is a miss by snow peak in my opinion.
Any medical kits for camping review or info if you have?? Thanks
This a very funny review from a dude who just boils water
Sharpening stones should be added... maybe a fillet knife included. There's room. Nice.
So how much Pork BBQ and Broccoli has your knife cut Luke :)
Nothing more dangerous than a dull knife. Glad it’s a sharp knife
why are you cutting the peppers with paper towel underneath?
coffe man
Most Japanese products are worth the buy.
Show us where it actually says made in Japan.
"Welcome to The Outdoor Cookery Channel, I hope you're all doing well."
... you realize he reviews all kinds of outdoor gear, correct?
@@R1scorpio You realise it's a joke, right?🙄
Why don’t you just router out a pocket adjacent to the other side of the knife to fix the ease of getting it out of the holder? Might be a good idea!
Couldn't I just use my Mora and be done with it?
Nowhere on Amazon or on the Snow Peak home page does it clearly state that these items are made in Japan. Where is the evidence this set is not made in China?
Ust makes one for half the price.
"Here's a review of the Snow Peak cutting board and knife set. Included in the set we have: A cutting board - and - a knife. The board is, well , a board , of the cutting variety. It is used for boarding things and, when combined with the included knife, is an excellent solution when there are no trees or level surfaces in, or around, your camping vicinity. Onto the knife - It's a knife, It's sharp and it's used for actually cutting things. Please bare in mind, like OneTigris tent stuff sacks, the board and knife are not labelled. Do not mix them up. Do not try to cut things with the board. Now, my friends, I'm off to camp in the rain." (NOTE - As a side not, I LOVE Luke's videos, so this should be taken in jest. I mean, Not even the best lawyer in the world would be able to talk about a knife and board set for 15 mins. Keep up the good work!
Not a full tang knife
I'm surprised with that kind of money it doesn't come with a little sharpening stone, come on now, come on............
As a knife guy I would not purchase a knife w/out knowing the specific steel being used. Many high carbon steels are cheap and have their own issues. No where can I find the steel type for this product & just because it is Japanese is meaningless in todays knife market. I have both folders and fixed blades I use specifically for camping/hiking. Yeah, you probably want a stainless but there can be a huge difference and @ that price point I would pass - Because the steel has to be cheap.
It's a backpacking cook knife, perfectly priced imho.
@@thedarkhush3264
If you're used to using garbage,then I guess it wouldn't matter then.
@@KevinSmith-yh6tl why take an expensive cook knife camping ? Zero fear of damaging a cheap backpack knife over my gmas 1000$ chef knife.
It’s $49 on Amazon for the knife and board. We’re not talking about a Hattori Gyuto here. Most people are just going to use a Mora or SAK. This is a step above that.
@@thedarkhush3264I’m with you. Even though I can only glamp now that I have a disability, I’m not going to take my Miyabi Santoku with me outdoors.
Better off going to the dollar store for a better knife with full tang. Ruin it, toss it, buy another
This seems kinda like a schill type thing Luke. Of course you will get some people to buy this but no outdoorsman or woman is using this thing. Remember honesty and integrity brother. All the best to you all and your families 🙏🙏🙏
I can see overlanders, car campers and pretty much anyone with car using this. It's nice to have a good cutting board when making larger amounts of food. Also the possibility to keep the knife inside of the cutting board is nice when traveling.
I like the concept but don’t want to put a lot of work into taking care of it….
I am like Luke in a way, simple and easy is what I care for.
He's clearly fooling us cuz he can't cook . 👉🚀👈
LOL - A review from a guy who doesn't know how to cook.
Catch a fish and then prepare it raw
