Real titanium comes at a price and any product priced significantly lower is made from fake alloys that don't offer the same benefits. Real titanium is extensively used in medical devices for its hygienic & durability properties, resisting bacteria and not reacting with foods, which ensures safety and cleanliness.
Pure titanium used in our board is like gold in that it is corrosion-resistant, and won’t rust due to the scratches.
Now let’s compare titanium to other common cutting board materials:
Wood/Bamboo: These natural materials harbor bacteria & grow mold, even if invisible, which could contaminate your food over time. They also tend to absorb odors and stain easily, requiring more frequent replacement.
Plastic/Epicurean: Often contains BPA or other harmful chemicals that can leach into food during cutting, posing a risk to health. Plastics are also prone to scratches where bacteria can accumulate.
Glass/Stone/Steel: These materials are very hard and tend to dull knives quickly. Frequent sharpening of your knives becomes necessary, adding to upkeep costs & effort.
Titanium is 3x softer on a hardness scale than the stainless steel used in most knives, so it won’t dull blades quickly, if ever, helping your knives last longer & perform better, saving you money on the long run. The Taima titanium cutting board surpasses other materials by not absorbing odors, avoiding bacterial buildup, and being free from harmful chemicals.
There's no other material in the kitchen world that matches titanium’s combination of being gentle on knives, exceptionally hygienic, and completely non-toxic.
This makes the Taima board a smart, durable investment for any kitchen, combining essential features without the drawbacks of other boards.
