Do very sharp knives cut through the plastic rods?

Not in my experience. I do not keep my kitchen knives razor-sharp but they are sharpened enough to easily cut through chicken, etc.Have never had an issue.

I've owned this for about 7 months and it currently holds (2) steel and (2) ceramic knives that are very sharp. I have not seen any damage to the plastic rods. I really like this knife holder.

Every Knife Fits in well, I love this product, The Knives insert themselves between the the plastic rod, they don't cut them

No. The knives go in parallel to the rods so the rods surround the blades. Most of our knives are very sharp and I have not seen any damage to the rods. We have two and love them both.

in my experience, yes. i've had this knife block for a year. i use this to store 1 victorinox chef's knife, 4 steak knives, and 1 pair of scissors. i found that the chef's knife has cut through multiple rods even though i don't sharpen it, and some rods have been severely bent. i will still keep using it, but i'll have to find another way to put the knives in (top of the blade in first?) and be more careful about it.

Most don't. We always keep our knives sharpened well and haven't had a problem. However, I bought a super sharp Victorinox bread knife with an edge with tiny serrations, and put it in there. It did cut at least one of the inner plastic rods. I decided not to store it there anymore.

The sharp instrument (razor, exacto knife, rotary blade) that you use to cut things on this board will naturally cut into the board itself. No plastic is truly self healing..Self-healing materials have a structural ability so that the cutline or the crack that your knife makes in the plastic surface when you cut, basically bounces back into the same position as it was when it was whole. So the cuts on the mat do not affect it's ability help you cut a straight line every time.

Yes, but not the entire length of the blade. They are serrated from the center to the tip.

No. All plastic. They are sharp and very strong though. In addition to shredding, I use them often for moving large pieces of hot meat from pan to cutting board etc.

I used scissors and they worked fine :) the plastic is thick but cuts pretty easily.

These are made to cut wire, so plastic should be no problem. The cuts are as clean and flush as they can possibly be. You may still need to sand a little.

Yes, the plastic does get cut if you are not careful. We have had it only a short time but we use only bread we have made so we use the slicer a lot and it is holding up well even with the slight problem of the plastic being cut and we use the Ginsu knife. Cut slowly and all will be well.

Modify the spine of the knife by putting it between two pieces of wood and into a vise, cutting edge down. With a file, you can file a 90 degree edge on the spine and then it can be used to strike sparks off a ferro rod. I've done this with several of these now. To see how it is done you can also check out Youtube using a grinder. The file is far less heat.

Yes, there is a metal strip that is quite sharp. It makes the cut very easy and accurate. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have.

Yes they are. They do not need to be razor-sharp at the edges because the sharpness of the point will do the job. The only frustrating part is throwing form and technique. Do not Be discouraged if your knives bounce off a lot, it's not the knives, it's just you. I hope this helps :)

We haven't tried that... but it can cut thick plastic, such as credit card thickness. No thin metal here to try cutting.

Plastic, yes. Metal, only if you're very careful not to press too hard. Any sharp object would definitely pierce the "skin"-- the top is somewhat matte, and holds spread flour very well. I used a hard plastic spatula the other day, to cut top strips for a piecrust, and it worked great; but I was careful not to press too hard.

HiYes. I used this saw with the metal cutting bladeto cut through 1/2 inch steel rods.

Yes. Unless you use pins or attach straps or something to hold them in place. Otherwise only the glass holds the knives in, and when you open it there's nothing else.

No.. but i just used a pair of sharp scissors to cut an opening once they were installed.

It depends on the gauge (thickness) of the metal you are wanting to cut, but the blade included is meant for cutting through wood, metal, and plastic.

Pretty sharp I cut plastic n paper pretty easy haven't yet tried to chop though stuff with me but the do slice I'd say my kimchi knife set is sharper though not by much but a good example I cut PVC with them this I don't think would do that
