      Both of them are probably junk. From sharp edges to failing titanium coating, subpar stainless steel - notice how they don't list the grade of stainless. Do they follow FDA guidelines? Did you know there were even FDA guidelines for cutting board materials? Why not buy something nice and made in the USA from a place like Sur La Tab?

        I did read one review about sharp edges but easily fixable with coarse grit sandpaper (ie, 100 grit, 200 grit, 400, etc) or I have numerous metal files to smooth out any sharp edges.

          I don't want to buy a brand new item that I need to immediately fix or alter to make it usable and safe. I'd much rather spend a few dollars more and get one that's made correctly.

            This will make disneysteve & ua_guy happy, the stainless steel cutting board did have a splinter which I felt by dabbing my finger along the edges but easily fixed in 5 minutes by sanding it. I know as disneysteve said when buying new items why would I want to have to fix it but for $13, I have no problem fixing it.

              I don't think it makes me or anyone else "happy", but we did warn you. Filing off a sharp edge doesn't fix the problem that it's likely cheap stainless and will begin rusting eventually. Or, who knows what other metals are in there....

                Agreed. That doesn't make me happy at all. It makes me angry that they're allowed to sell such poor quality and even dangerous items like that. The old adage that you get what you pay for is often true.
