Genuine titanium comes at a cost, and any product offered at a significantly lower price is made from cheap alloys that don't offer the same advantages. Pure titanium is widely used in medical devices because of its hygienic and durable properties: it resists bacteria and doesn't interact with food, ensuring safety and cleanliness.
The pure titanium used in our board is comparable to gold in its corrosion resistance and does not rust, even if scratched.
Let's now compare titanium to other common materials for cutting boards:
- Wood/Bamboo: These natural materials harbor bacteria and can develop mold, even if invisible, which can contaminate your food over time. They also absorb odors and stain easily, requiring more frequent replacement.
- Plastic/Epicurean: They often contain BPA or other harmful chemicals that can migrate into food during cutting, posing health risks. Plastics are also prone to scratches where bacteria can accumulate.
- Glass/Stone/Steel: These materials are very hard and tend to dull knives quickly. Frequent sharpening becomes necessary, adding to the cost and maintenance effort.
Titanium is three times softer on the hardness scale than the stainless steel used in most knives, preventing blades from dulling quickly. This helps your knives last longer and perform better, saving you money in the long run. The Keith Titanium cutting board surpasses other materials by not retaining odors, preventing bacterial growth, and being free of harmful chemicals.
There is no other material in the kitchen that matches titanium in terms of knife-smoothness, exceptional hygiene, and complete non-toxicity.
This makes the Keith Titanium board a smart and lasting investment for any kitchen, combining essential features without the drawbacks of other boards.
