tekobo Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago Hi there. I am about to dive down a new rabbit hole and I thought I would drop by and see if you could help me dig deeper. A number of top UK chefs recommend the Apex cutting boards. They are eye wateringly expensive if you search generally on the web but I managed to track down the UK source and managed to get it down to a manageable £165: https://rowandsons.co.uk/collections/chefs-at-home/products/apex-cutting-board I then did some more searching to confirm or change my choice and found this YouTube video in which asahi and hasegawa cutting boards are recommended. They are more reasonably priced and the Black Friday sales would be a good option for renewing our very old stack of cutting boards. We would keep the good wooden ones for serving and chopping but a fresh set for fish, meat and veg prep would be great. Grateful for your views and recommendations before I pull the trigger. Quote
5698k Posted 8 minutes ago Report Posted 8 minutes ago I use Hi Soft, very similar to asahi, and i love them. I’m a bit of a knife snob, all my knives are carbon steel, with very fine, sharp edges. I sharpen at roughly 12* per side. My point is that even with these edges, these boards are great because they dont affect my edges at all. I can easily go a year between sharpenings, and even then, these boards edges are never damaged because of cutting surface. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
C6Bill Posted 5 minutes ago Report Posted 5 minutes ago I have a couple but nothing extravagant, typically I just grab my OXO when chopping veggies or my Boos block for meat. I go to a restaurant if i want fish, i just don't cook it at home. So long story short, i can't help you lol Quote
