The cost of genuine titanium is justified by the unparalleled benefits it provides, which are absent in cheaper alloy alternatives. Real titanium, commonly used in medical devices, is chosen for its superior hygiene and durability, resisting bacteria and ensuring it doesn’t react with food, thus maintaining safety and cleanliness.
The pure titanium in our boards is like a precious metal—highly resistant to corrosion and immune to rust, even if scratched.
Here’s how titanium compares to other common cutting board materials:
Wood/Bamboo: These natural materials can hide bacteria and develop mold over time, potentially contaminating your food. They are also prone to absorbing odors and staining, requiring frequent replacement.
Plastic/Epicurean: These materials often contain harmful chemicals like BPA, which can seep into food during use, posing health risks. Plastics are also easily scratched, creating spaces for bacteria to thrive.
Glass/Stone/Steel: These hard surfaces quickly dull knives, leading to the need for constant sharpening, which increases both maintenance efforts and costs.
Titanium is three times softer than the stainless steel used in most knives, which means it’s far gentler on your blades, helping them stay sharp longer and reducing the need for frequent replacements. The Tetsu titanium cutting board outperforms other materials by resisting odors, preventing bacterial growth, and being free from harmful chemicals.
No other material offers the same combination of benefits as titanium: it’s gentle on knives, exceptionally hygienic, and completely non-toxic.
This makes the Tetsu board a wise, durable investment for any kitchen, delivering all the key features you need without the drawbacks of other cutting boards.
