IMPORTANT NOTE
Yes, light knife marks on your pure titanium board are normal. In fact, this is one of the reasons titanium is loved: it is strong and durable, but still gentle enough to help protect your knife edge during daily cutting.
Unlike glass, ceramic, or cheap steel boards that can quickly dull or damage knives, pure titanium gives your blade a smoother cutting contact. Fine surface marks may appear, but they are cosmetic only. They do not affect safety, hygiene, or performance.
Many boards advertised as "titanium" are only coated or mixed with other metals. These fake boards may look perfect at first, but the surface can peel, chip, rust, or expose another material underneath.
Do not trust us only. Search Google or ask ChatGPT or Gemini: "Does pure titanium scratch when cut with kitchen knives, and is titanium gentler on knives than glass or steel?"
Real titanium may show light marks because it helps protect your knives. Fake coatings may stay shiny at first, until they peel.
