We bought 2 Culinario cutting boards. The tip came to us in a holiday home in Denmark; there were the boards have long been in use. The skid resistance of the boards has convinced us immediately. On the countertop in the kitchen, the boards are non-slip and secure. The color is used to; but secondary. In the house we could see that with prolonged use, although the knife cut marks are visible; but they are not annoying and if the knife is not pulled by brute force over the board, and not particularly deep.
