Titanium chopping board - death to knives?

Titanium is quite soft, it's only some of the alloys that make it hard.
And if you compare it to the glass cutting boards, chian plates etc it a lot better for the knives.

Yes. I checked some out. They all seem to be alloyed with stainless steel.

Ti alloy is a sticky material - I would think it would blunt a nice sharp knife quickly.
I favour timber - it is naturally antiseptic compared to plastic.

Looks like we have 2x olive Wood, 1x walnut 1x beech and 3 plastic boards, as well as oak counter top and glass hob.

Titanium remaining strictly for bicycle frames.

I have wood too (I just looked into the mirror) but gotta admit I prefer the plastic ones as I can just chuck in dishwasher and I can get like 10 for the price of one wooden one

And I find that the wooden ones tend to splinter my high end knives.

Steel has a higher Rockwell than almost any titanium alloy does.

Steel is plus 50 and up, HC steel (decent knifes that have been tempered correctly) are in the 60/70 range.
Titanium is below 50, some are even below 40.

no it won't blunt your knife. still don't want one though, because titanium is radioactive*.




*this is a joke, although it was said that the large surplus of Russian Titanium was radioactive.
