Titanium cutting board?

[number9]

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of pop-up ads for titanium cutting boards, specifically Tivano. The ads and website claim that the boards are easy on the knife edge. Doesn't sound right to me. Anyone around here have any first hand experience?

I'll stick with maple, teak, and plastic. Then again, I don't cut much on cutting boards

I’m not a physicist, nor do I play the abacus (if that makes sense to you, you have my sympathies), but consider the following.
Regardless of the material that you’re cutting on:
- if the knife doesn’t scratch/mar the surface, the surface is as hard or harder than the knife edge, which can’t be good for said edge
- if the knife does scratch/mar the surface, there will be microscopic residue left over from the cutting, which will become part of the chopped/sliced food
If the above logic holds true, I’ll stick to wood cutting boards. Properly cleaned. Once in a while.

And I thought the glass cutting boards were the most useless kitchen accessory ever until I saw these adds.
By the way, I read somewhere the "titanium" is actually stainless steel.

Thanks. That's what I thought. And that thread from last year said it all.
