Titanium is much softer than the steel used in almost 99% of kitchen knives. On a hardness scale, steel is about three times harder than titanium. This means that by using a titanium cutting board, your knives won’t dull as quickly, as the titanium isn’t hard enough to damage the blades. It’s similar to cutting on a wooden board in terms of being gentle on your knives, without the drawbacks of wood like bacteria buildup and odor absorption.

Absolutely! Our titanium boards are ideal for cutting meat, vegetables, fruit and bread. The non-reactive nature of titanium means it won't affect the taste or smell of your food, making it a perfect choice for a variety of culinary tasks.

As of 2024, KEITH TITANIUM IS THE ONLY SUPPLIER OF PURE TITANIUM CUTTING BOARDS FOR MEDICAL USE.

It is important to understand that true pure titanium cutting boards, like ours, are inherently more expensive to produce due to the high price and quality of the material. When you find significantly cheaper options claiming to be 'titanium', they are primarily made of steel with only a small proportion of titanium to use the name. These products do not benefit from the advantages of a pure titanium board.

100% pure titanium offers several superior benefits:

• Exceptional Durability: Unlike alloys, pure titanium is stronger and less prone to deformation or deterioration over time.
• Improved Hygiene: Titanium’s natural antibacterial properties are more effective than those of alloys, ensuring better food safety.
• Knife Preservation: Pure titanium is much gentler on your knives due to its lower hardness than steel. A lesser quality titanium alloy will not protect your blades from dulling as much.

Investing in a genuine titanium board ensures that you get the full benefit of these benefits, making it a wise investment for anyone who is serious about their kitchen tools. We are committed to providing you with a high-quality product that delivers on the promise of titanium, ensuring lasting value for your investment.

Real 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 benefits. 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 will not rust, even if scratched.

Now let’s compare titanium to other common cutting board materials:

• Wood/Bamboo: These natural materials harbor bacteria and can grow mold, even though it’s invisible, which can contaminate your food over time. They also absorb odors and stain easily, requiring more frequent replacement.
• Plastic/Epicurean: Often containing BPA or other harmful chemicals that can leach into food when cut, 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, which adds cost and maintenance effort.

Titanium is three times softer on the hardness scale than the stainless steel used in most knives, which prevents blades from dulling quickly, helping your knives last longer and perform better, saving you money in the long run. The Keith Titanium Titanium Board outperforms other materials by not retaining odors, preventing bacterial buildup, and being free of harmful chemicals.

There is no other material in the kitchen that matches titanium in terms of knife-friendlyness, exceptional hygiene and complete non-toxicity.

This makes the Keith Titanium board a smart and durable investment for any kitchen, combining essential features without the drawbacks of other boards.

Keith Titanium boards are made from high-grade medical titanium, renowned for its exceptional durability and hygienic properties. Unlike wood or plastic, titanium does not retain bacteria, absorb odors, degrade, or release BPA with use.

Additionally, titanium is also gentler on knives compared to glass, stone or steel, ensuring that your blades remain as sharp as they would be on wood.

Opting for titanium over steel for your cutting board has several notable benefits. First, titanium has superior antibacterial properties, making it a safer choice for food preparation.

Next, titanium’s durability surpasses that of steel. While both materials are strong, titanium is more resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that your board will maintain its appearance and performance for years to come, making it a more cost-effective investment in the long run.

Most importantly, titanium is significantly softer on the Mohs scale than steel. This lower hardness means that a titanium board helps keep your knives sharper for much longer—up to 5-10 times longer than steel boards. Frequent use of steel boards can quickly dull knife blades, requiring more frequent maintenance and potentially compromising your cutting accuracy.

In summary, a titanium cutting board is a wiser choice for those who prioritize hygiene, longevity and preservation of their kitchen tools.

Scratches: Don’t worry if you notice scratches over time – this is normal. These scratches occur because titanium is softer than the steel used in most kitchen knives. This allows the board to withstand wear and tear, keeping your knives sharp. (The board will not leave chips.)

Cleaning: Hand wash under water. Avoid abrasive sponges to preserve the smooth surface. Wipe with a soft cloth.

Temperature Resistance: Titanium is very resistant to extreme temperatures. You can safely use it in the oven or freezer.

Chemical Resistance: Titanium is completely resistant to corrosion, even when scratched, and does not react with acidic or alkaline foods.

Storage Tip: Store your Keith Titanium board in a separate compartment from other utensils to maintain its appearance.

Dishwasher Safe: You can wash your Keith Titanium board in the dishwasher – it’s designed to handle it.

Microwave Use Warning: Do not use the Keith Titanium board in the microwave, as titanium is a metal and can cause sparks and fire hazards when microwaved.

Maintaining your Keith Titanium board is simple. Wash it with warm water after each use and dry it with a clean towel. Unlike wood, titanium does not require oil and is stain and scratch resistant, making maintenance minimal.

KEITH TITANIUM titanium products are designed for your comfort. You can clean them in the dishwasher without worry, because they are designed to withstand the stresses of machine washing.
