Edge Grain, What it Means:

Edge-grain chopping blocks are considered superior because they are less likely to dull knives than end-grain or face-grain blocks. The edge grain configuration allows blades to slide between the wood fibers, rather than cutting through them, which reduces wear on the knives. Additionally, edge grain blocks tend to be more durable and less prone to warping or cracking than other types of wood blocks.
