@@frankyao5854 Well to be fair they aren't really made for chopping anyway, only slicing and general cutting. Rubber cutting boards like the Asahi from what I've heard at least were made primarily for the sushi restaurant industry when standards of hygiene made traditional wooden benchtops for storing and cutting fish no longer an option and sushi chefs didn't like the normal HDPE cutting boards because they dull knifes quickly, get gouged easily and are slippery, which the rubber ones all fix. They are also dishwasher and bleach safe, which is an advantage over wooden boards too I've seen a fair few videos here on youtube of japanese kitchens and when they need to do some heavy chopping they definitely use a proper chopping block of either wood or those massive HDPE circular blocks(common in places that specialize in chinese style cooking) I own one myself and they definitely are a joy to use for pretty much everything, I also got a massive 24"x16" HDPE board for 45$ when I'm breaking down chickens and sanitizing is a breeze and I don't have to worry about it at all if it gets a bit damanged, definitely easier and cleaner than putting together a bunch of cheap thin plastic boards and the chicken juices get everywhere on the counter let me tell you

I use a very fine knit towel and the knife never even remotely cuts into it. I bought a high grade Japanese nakiri 4 years ago and have been chopping everything with it and the knife has never lost any sharpness.

I’m a huge fan of pmv-11 steel. I only know of it from woodworking, but I believe it’s a type of stainless. It’s relatively easy to sharpen but retains an edge fantastically. I’m not sure if it’s proprietary to Veritas woodworking, but I’d love to see them branch out into blades and scissors. Disclaimer: typically to other tool steels we use are O1 and A2, so I’m not sure if pmv-11 is simply marketing for a different type of steel used in other applications, but personally I prefer it over those other two for woodworking.

Those steels are all martensitic stainless steels, a hybrid between carbon and stainless steels. They are better than VG-10, but also not directly comparable either. 440C would be a better comparison, which is also much better than VG-10 (and one of my personal favorites).

i need those cutting boards

I think most comments about rubber cutting boards are ignorant of how they are used. Japanese knife techniques are generally about cutting only what you wanna cut, with the minimum force required. So if you swing a knife enough to feel its weight, you're using way too much force. If a cut requires a powerful stroke, then grab a cleaver and chop wood. But when you wield a good knife as a cook with delicate ingredients like fish fillets, you see everything your hand does with that knife afterwards....

scissors are the best tool for pizza slicing!

I like the cutting board(s). Was 'beefier' also rubber?

Not sure Gaspard Savoureux would approve the Rubber Board;)

Alex, when are you coming to Japan?! 🤌🏻

I use tawashi to scrub veggies and citruses :D

Japanese kitchenware is amazing, and more importantly, with the benefit of yen being at record low in decades, they become very competitive at reasonable price.

Atomic Habits it's still a big influence for you since that onion-chopping video. "make it satisfying". I bet there's nothing more satisfying than a good sharp AF japanese hybrid knife. I'm jealous. The VG-10 seems like a great material. I always thought carbon was the way to go. I'll look into it.

Sg2 and other powdered steel are better than vg10, harder, better edge retention, usually tougher but cost at least 3 times more than the tojiro

Sounds silly, but I’m most excited about the chopping board. Does the knife catch on the rubber at all?

I’m not sure if it was the same type of rubber material as in these boards, but 20 or 25-ish years ago, when I was a young cook, we had a couple of rubber cutting boards at work. In my experience, those boards did catch. One of our sous chefs loved them. A bigger problem was that they got extremely soft when sent through the dishwasher. and hardtop be placed flat on a table to cool down before storing vertically in the cutting board rack. If not, they would dry all warped and wouldn’t lay flat. But this might not be the same material at all.
