This may not be the answer but for kitchen cutlery they say the Bamboo cutting boards do the least wear on chefs knife blades.  In terms of needing resharpening. Not inexpensive, you may also check the thrift or resale stores for used picture frames and take out the Plexiglas if you do not have old one around the house. In my area .50 cents to $2.00  

very bad idea the plexiglas® and bamboo wood is very hard for our leather knives .

but everyone does what they want.

I use MDF for all my cutting that what we used where i done my training works really well, does not dull the blade and no drag. When one side becomes to cut up turn it over, it cheap too got mine free off cuts from local timber yard.

Just remember only use it for a cutting board because after awhile it becomes cut up and it will scratch your work.

 

Hope this helps

You are going to have to make a decision as to what you want.

If you want a top that will not dull your knife, . . . then the blade will cut into it slightly, . . . and drag.

If you want a top that will not create drag, . . . it will dull your blade.

I chose the 36 by 60 cutting mat that is sold by Joann fabric for folks cutting fabric.  It works great for me, . . . there is a slight drag at times, . . . but slightly lifting up on the pressure will usually alleviate most of it.

Mine as been on there for over 10 years, . . . works great in my opinion.

May God bless,

Love the setup. My cutting table is 35"x55" UHMW 3/4" thick top 2x6 and 4x4 legs I'm looking at the cutting mats that @paloma posted the link for, to cover the UHMW.

That looks nice! Waiting to hear about shipping cost at the moment...

I made a mistake the dimension of the carpet are: 90 cm x 60cm x 5mm

Shipping cost to US is kinda high! But I might just bite the bullet...

@paloma you should show the mat after a cut has been made on it!
