Other plastic cutting boards claim to not dull knives. Do these dull knives?

I think all boards can dull knives, even dishwashers, don't think it will make a difference. I sharpen my knives each time I get ready to use them. Don't let that "unfounded" theory discourage your purchase.

so they tell you to not put them in the dish washer because the dish wash dulls the knifes. Mine got spot rust on them after being cleaned in the dishwasher. The ones I hand washed have not rusted.

I haven't used the sharpener, I bought the knife set a few months ago and they are still really sharp.

Like most good knives, they is not recommended for dishwashers. Dishwashers seem to dull the cutting edges. The knives are easily handwashed and the blades remain sharp. Enjoy

I don't like to use any knives on my pots and pans, especially ones with a non-stick coating. That stuff will scratch off with forks or anything metal. Not good for your food or your health...I have these great flexible cutting boards that you just rinse off and they don't take up a lot of space.

Not ours. They seem pretty sturdy. We have used knives on it to cut chicken and steak with no problem, but I am sure if you press anything hard enough it may leave a scratch, so using it as a chopping board is a no, but regular dinning I think it'll be fine! We love ours!

I didn't experience any difference between these and my other knives when using a mechanical sharpener. It looks the same to me.

No matter where you go to read about all the different cutting boards you are going to hear people's opinions. Bamboo is allegedly harder on knives than other woods. Although i would think that Maple would be harder. I have heard plastic is the worst for knives. Yet, I have read of pro caterers who only use plastic boards. At least bamboo ('boo' boards) is eco-freindly. I purchased a teak board from a company that allegedly grew their own teak and did not deforest any other Eco-systems but their own. I have owned my boo board and teak board over a year and a half and use Henckles knives; usually 2-3 times a week. I have not seen or felt any unusual dulling of those knifes. I will steel them prior to each use to help keep the edge. My view, as a casual user, is that bamboo will be just fine. The one thing to remember with any wood board is to mineral oil them about once a month to prevent cracking; do not use any other oil, like olive or saffron, etc; Do not put them in the dishwasher. Keep your knives sharp. So, in brief, do as much investigation as possible and make your decision based on how much you use the board. If you are a casual cook like me, I would recommend boo boards mainly because they can be regrown so quickly.

They are very sturdy for disposable cutlery. I've been using them for years. I even wash and reuse them a couple of times and the knives actually cut because they are serrated, unlike most plastic knives. It's definitely a good product. Good luck.

They are nice but they do not have the strongest magnets. I do not suggest this if you have a nice knife set. But to answer your question I have had nothing but problems with mine.

Yes. One of the blades is serrated. As for how long they will stay sharp cutting through hard plastic, i dont know

I have two sets. The first set I bought 2 years ago and the second set last year. I have never sharpened them. I love these knives.

Yeah they are. I actually have mine on a magnetic strip and get lots of compliments on them. These are quality knives if you take care of them- wash them immeadiately (don't let them sit in the sink so food dries and adheres to them), and don't cut on a wood board use a plastic one so they stay sharp.

Not really, perhaps a tiny amount. They do warp though, they will not stay flat sheets, but turn into rounded arcs. Plus mold forms between the sheets unless they are absolutely dried before storing beneath the cutting board. Wood is porous but the plastic sheets will retain even a small amount of moisture between their layers for weeks.

Yes But recently I have been using ceramic knives,the ceramics do hold an edge much longer. The henkels are great but you do need to keep them sharp either with a ceramic,pr diamond steel or a sharpening service or device.... I love my good knives,sharp....
