I get the teak ones from Costco. Best deal out there. I try to oil it monthly…but sometimes dont.

Wood is the best.

Yes. They are hard(er) on knives.

I use wood. Because while I don't mind the whetstone routine, I don't need to make it a more regular occurrence.

I purchased the stainless steel on over the weekend. Haven't used it yet though.

They say to trash them even they get marked up. And to replace them every three years, even if they are still in good shape.

Omg, I’ve been using the same plastic cutting boards for years, and just googled it - considered to be hazardous by all accounts. I’m such an idiot. I’ve probably poisoned my family. Just dumped them both in the trash. I’m careful about plastics in general, but didn’t realize the cutting boards were the worst. I honestly don’t know how I could’ve been so ignorant. 😭

Not too concerned about that.
