Early Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Staved Teak Cutting Board With Knife

Circa 1960s Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Designs Denmark cheese cutting board with integrated knife in staved teak. An ingeniously designed piece, epitomizing form and function: the slot within the board itself houses the knife to both present a modernist paddle-shape and prevent loss. A useful, compact innovation that takes up very little space:
(L: 11.5″ x D: 6.75″ x H: 1″).
Good, vintage condition, showing knife impressions to both sides of the board, along with scuffs to the knife blade. Expected wear, given its use / age.
We have a later example listed separately.
