CARVING OUT A MASTERPIECE

NY NOW kicked off its brutally cold New York City trade show that celebrated items to gift your loved ones in 2026. Once again, a kaleidoscope of brands hit the Javits Center showroom floor today that ticked the fancies of what’s truly home in our hearts. Kitchen brands are what welcome DPL’s close to sixth year NY NOW press attendance with silverware for the modern middle class home, plus fine cutlery with fine China. A good knife set cannot be justified if it’s not accompanied by an extraordinary block of wood shaped to be a companion in the kitchen. DPL NY discovers JK Adams, a fine line of wood cutting boards that also carve out its own branded statement.

Made In America, the family-owned JK Adams since 1944 out of Dorset, Vermont, has been a huge proponent in creating high-quality wood products. JK Adams manufactures cutting boards not only for the everyday household, but also for professional restaurants across the country. Its lineup includes edge grain and end grain pro-series that goes as thick as 24x18x1.5 designed to easily work on-demand in your restaurant kitchen. JK Adams also fits right into one’s home kitchen with everyday cutting boards, bread boards, kitchen collections, and prep.

JK Adams prides itself in 3 kinds of fine wood being maple, cherry, and walnut, all playing a widespread role professionally, and at home. DPL NY also caught JK Adams making a bold move by branding some of its boards with words of BOLD, BRAVE, and RESILIENCE to celebrate “AMERICA 250”. Simpler statements include not words, but beautifully sketched animals from the farm, the forest, and the sea.

JK Adams for all its 80+ year history delivers the best quality wood products your vision of a home deserves. Not exclusive to just a simple or hard cutting board, JK Adams also carves out baking tools such as rolling pins. But the best finishing piece to JK Adams line of products includes serving boards for parties, especially cheese boards. No matter the size, JK Adams is there from the first cut to cook, to the final cut to serve as you and your guests enjoy the fine work you created.
