I bought the chopping board for my son and daughter in law, so had to wait for their reply, they have had the board for almost a year and have had no problem with it, in fact my son said it was very sturdy

we also had problems with our thin board. this maple end board has not chiped or split on us at all and we use it to open large hard vegetables. I have sanded the top once and added oil once sense we purchased it. we only use it for vegetables and fruit cutting , no meats

The cool thing about this cutting board is that it's an end grain type wood meaning it's the more mature type of wood and won't be as easy to cut. Most cheap cutting boards are made of pine and they would probably be the easiest to splinter. This cutting board is extremely sturdy and won't cause you any splinters even with the sharpest knifes. Just be sure to dry it regularly and buy mineral oil to keep it moist. This is the best cutting board for the money imo.

No, the wood does not splinter. This thing is like iron. Super fast surface. I love it still.

No splintering or other problems with this board. Scrubbing with a brush and periodic oiling are worthwhile maintenance.

I have not had any problems with this knife. One of the best knives I have bought in a long time.

I have had a bamboo cutting board that looks like the one shown. (I don't remember the name of it, when I purchased it) I have had it several years and have no problem with it.It is heavy, and I use it often.

Appreciate an answer but....The question is and was, "Does the blade scallop the wood at entry?" Apparently the narrower "kerf" blades have a propensity for this problem. Especially if they are not metal.

First, I do not have a really smooth counter surface like the latest in countertop surfaces. The cutting board is really heavy and I've never had a problem with movement of the board while in use.

I've had it more than a year and have not had any issue. I continously utilize this knife every day.

No. Has just the right amount of give. This board was recommended by America's Test Kitchen, and ranked the best for a non wood cutting board. I've had mine for a few months now, and love it.

I'm no botanist or versed in the arts of trees so I can't answer this.the deterioration of the wood is natural, and it may be oiled once in a while with special oils used to protect furniture (I think,,,) but, anyways, I don't think I'm having the same knife for longer than 5~6 years, so, it doesn't really matter right now, had mine for 6 months only, and its still shinny and sharp.

The saw has a foot which can be used with a straight edge clamped to the wood to produce a straight cut. A trick I was taught for preventing splintering with plywood is to clamp another piece of wood under the plywood. I am guessing the splintering occurs with plywood layers not having enough support.

I have had this cutting board for ... About a year? And it gets daily, heavy use. It has warped ever so slightly, and although I did purchase the treatment oil, I have yet to use it. It is my understanding that treating it prolongs use. The board is extraordinarily durable and can stand up to very sharp knives. There are barely any scratches on the board after a year of cutting with professional grade knives.

The wood looks like oak or ash, both of which are very hard woods. It is smooth and solid so there is very little concern for splintering. I hope this is helpful.

I think it depends on how hard you press when slicing. I usually can get a thin slice but my hubby can press hard and get a thick slice. It is very sharp.

Yes. I don't use it like a traditional cutting board; it would scare. I use it to protect my cabinets.

i never used an electric knife. for a regular knife, the board remains very smooth. no particles come loose from the surface.

This set does very well on both plywood and hardwood. I take a slightly smaller "bite" on plywood as a precaution but I've never encountered any significant splintering or tearout.

I expect it depends on the material being cut. The plywood and thin material I have used, it splinters. It cuts a straight line but does not cut as I expected it to do as the ad depicted.
