You may think your knife is metal so it can handle a lot of use and abuse. You may be right. But what a lot of us have failed to consider is the longevity of our knifes. Straight edge blades are at the mercy of the surface they're cutting on.
Builders are turning to more rigid and dense materials as home prices sore. That includes granite, marble, quartz, and other materials that your stainless steel blade just can't handle!
Serrated edges are in the same ball park. Don't be fooled! Teeth need to be sharp too to do the job right.
When considering how to protect your cutlery be sure to choose an easy to clean, non-porous, yet gentle surface for cutting on. Bamboo, or polypropene options are best. Avoid glass at all cost! Search for dishwasher safe options for convenience if you're interested. Lastly, to avoid messy spills, find one with grooves along the edges so juices stay put. One of Cam's favorites are the Best Seller! option on Amazon from Royal Craft Wood made of bamboo. Happy cutting!
