can you use a sharp knife to cut with or will it harm the bottom

It will scratch the bottom - I don't think you can cut through and you will still be able to use the pan. It doesn't have a non-stick finish like teflon that you can chip off.

I think it will harm the bottom. I would not recommend using a sharp knife on this pan. Unless you don't care if it gets scratched. I don't think it would effect the quality of the pan if it was to get scratched accidently. WOULD NOT ADVISE USING A SHARP KNIFE ON THIS PAN.

I use sharp knives on them all of the time. It scratches them, but they (I have four) have held up for at least four years.

I used parchment paper on the bottom so all I had to do was loosen the sides of the cake. I loosened the sides gently with a non-serrated knife gently and doing that did not scratch the sides of the pan.

You'll definitely scratch the pan. Anodized aluminum is harder than regular aluminum, but not as hard as steel. In general, you should treat it the same way as a non-stick pan (i.e. use rubber or plastic utensils when possible).

it can be cut down and if you have access to a hacksaw that would be best. I used a serrated knife but it required some work. A hardware store might be able to cut it down to size for you in no time at all. Good luck

I just wrap mine in cloth and keep it away from anything in the drawer that might dull it prematurely. It is extremely sharp. My fianc and I have both had minor but painful accidents when washing dishes!

No you can't I'm afraid. I've used my knife for almost every kitchen chore. And so far, it's shown NO sign of dulling.I give the knife 5 stars for holding an edge

yes, use a sharp blade. I did trim one to use as part of a collage, but if you want to use the mat as intended (on a desk) it would be best to order a size that closes fits your dest, as the edges of the mat, if cut, could present a hazard.

I would say absolutely not. The bottom has a cut in pattern with some painted, some bare metal, and there are some sharp edges there.

This is silicone so no sharp implements can be used on it as it will cut. A soft silicone palette knife is ideal.

I believe it would ruin the service of the pan. I would not use a knife on it.

It works great, but you need a good sharp knife as well. I got the commercial knife called Fat Daddio. Just keep it away from small children!

No, because that would dull it considerable, and probably lower the temper in the blade due to excessive heat. The blade is much thinner than a conventional kitchen knife.

I don't think it would damage it if you cut a small notch in the bottom. Hard to say without pictures.

You could very lightly cut but I still wouldn't recommend it. If you want a nice lightweight cutting board, I highly recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00453OMYI/ref=oh_details_o01_s03_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I dunno. I bought some of these as gifts (kids birthday parties, etc.) and have given them away so I don't know for certain. I have bought and used similar things (Orikaso brand) and cut gently cut on them. I definitely wouldn't use a sharp Swiss Army knife on them for fear of cutting right through the plastic. I think an adult or a careful kid could safely cut with a sharp knife, though, knowing they stand to slice through the plastic if they press too hard. Hope this helps. Happy camping!

It is a finished piece so I wouldn't cut it. You *could* cut from the bottom. I purposes this differently than as sold, so I can't answer the hardware question.

yes you can cut it the way you like it i did mine too, this things is like a piece of vinyl you can cut the way you like it, it wont affect anything

My mother in law told me I probably shouldn't cut things on it because it might go through. Probably should use a cutting board to protect the table

No. I have tried it and you would have to cut a portion of the rubber on the bottom.
