ARE EPICUREAN CUTTING BOARDS KNIFE SAFE? WHY DO I SEE SCORE MARKS?Updated 22 days ago

Yes, Epicurean’s cutting boards are knife safe. Score marks demonstrate that your board is working as intended. The cutting surface can and should show score marks; that is showing that your board is protecting your knife’s edge.

Keep in mind proper skills for using knives. Often, excessive knife marks or gouges in boards are a result of improper techniques. As an example: for serrated knives, a gentle back and forth motion should be used when cutting and only the tip of serrated knives should lightly touch cutting boards at the end of a cut.
