Do knives cut into the plastic?

Yes just like wood ones. Not deep cuts. This cleans better than wood. Depending on size you could put in dishwasher to clean it.

Don't know. I bought this to use an a turntable platform. Staying true to form. No warping.
134912
No, they do not. The plastic is very dense, unlike some other cheap boards I have.
134913
No. No cuts, no scratches, and no discoloration from foods or anything else.
134914
No, they do not. Very heavy duty cutting board. Completely satisfied with it

Not really - but I clean it by spritzing w/ bleach pretty often so I haven't noticed much. The ONLY thing I didn't like was that it sat RIGHT flat on the counter and tended to get yucky when moisture got under it - so I bought 1/2 inch plastic furniture protector bumps (?) and glued them on as feet. It's worked PERFECTLY!!

No, they do not. I've been cutting on mine for two or three months now without any damage to the cutting board. Very happy with this product.

Husband says no. It's pretty strong plastic. Maybe light chopping but not very thick stuff.

We haven't tried that... but it can cut thick plastic, such as credit card thickness. No thin metal here to try cutting.

Yes they do all of the knives fit well into the block. I like the set of knives also. I have three one at home, one at my RV and one at my second home.

There is no plastic. The handles are solid metal and appear to be either forged or welded to the blade. I don't think these will ever break.

Yes, there is a slit and the plastic is thin enough to cut with scissors. These are a cheap way to update a house with old metal round closet rods . . .

Yes, but use a "hot knife" or a rotary disc, because it is styrene-type hard plastic, and difficult to cut. They also cut to fit, I believe at extra cost, and worth it.

Yes. Carving knives are made so that there is no bevel in blade so that when cutting, the blade moves through the wood without resistance from the bevel. This set was the first I bought when getting into the hobby, they work well and I still use them. I've purchased a lot of others knives as well and tend to use them more.

No. All plastic. They are sharp and very strong though. In addition to shredding, I use them often for moving large pieces of hot meat from pan to cutting board etc.

No the blade is just a straight shape edge. There are holes throught the blade above the edge so what you are cutting does not adhear to the blade.

I make reproductions of Neolithic hand tools, I use the blades to cut slots in wood and antler tines, however I can't see why they wouldn't cut sheet plastic. I would adjust the speed of your rotary tool so you are cutting, and not melting the plastic. Hope this helps.

The sharp instrument (razor, exacto knife, rotary blade) that you use to cut things on this board will naturally cut into the board itself. No plastic is truly self healing..Self-healing materials have a structural ability so that the cutline or the crack that your knife makes in the plastic surface when you cut, basically bounces back into the same position as it was when it was whole. So the cuts on the mat do not affect it's ability help you cut a straight line every time.

They are completely plastic. Even the cutting edge is plastic. But it all works!

Hi Suzie: No, there is no built-in cutter. I use scissors to cut the plastic to the size I want and then seal where needed.

Yes the knives do mold into the foam within the case and then the door closes to keep them more secure.

These are made of a pliable foam/plastic type material. Although I have not tried to cut mine, I would probably use a power miter saw to do so for the cleanest cut. I'm sure it would cut with a utility knife (box cutter) as well.

Oh, yes, they're made of plastic so easily cut with handsaw or snipped with a wire cutter.
