Green Checkered Cutting Boards

[Red Cent]

I use this:

But... I use a blade that looks like a double edge razor blade. Gives me four "blades" to dull. Quick change blade and is noticeably thinner than a regular utility blade. Cuts 8-9 ounce much better than utility blade. And I use a regular utility knife with heat treated blades for sharp curves and corners.

I have been using the pad for about 6-8 months and I cannot tell where I have cut unless some lint is pressed into the cut. I never feel any influence by other cuts and you will not cut all the way through. It seems to level out the blade after about 1/4" depth in the mat.

Totally water proof. No leather sliding around.

When you get it, clean off the surface. After cleaning, it will not rub off on the leather. Nor your hands.

For the price, I would advise someone with little room to cut the mat up into useable pieces.

Cutting: I guess it would have to affect the cutting edge some. I don't think I change blades much more than the plain utility knife. But the blades are rather cheap
