Thank you Mr. KG! Very interesting and surprising stuff. I've got to say your sheer diligence and dedication is amazing. Your contribution is truly appreciated as I know that I for one would not have the patience to do the thousands of cuts necessary to duplicate your tests. When I saw 2,000 slices per knife in your video I was amazed.
I have heard many times that end grain cutting boards are more forgiving on an edge, and it sort of makes sense. Until now I've never seen anyone actually test that assumption. I'm not really surprised at your findings, but thank you for empirically demonstrating that's one less thing to worry about.
We've seen a lot of myths debunked by actual testing here on the Exchange. Some of those findings were as expected. Others seem to defy first blush logical thinking exposing our multiplicative propensity to accept old wives tales and disseminate them as fact simply because on the surface they kind of seem logical.
Watching your video I saw the results from edge friendly cutting board displayed and I thought I had misread the data shown so I watched that part again. Can that really be true? At this point I have only watched your video, but I will visit your site and review your thoughts on the subject. I'm sure that you can both appreciate and understand why I find those results unexpected. I suspect that you too were surprised when you saw the numbers!
Again, thanks for the cool post!
