Frequently Asked Questions

We gathered direct answers about how pure titanium responds to everyday cutlery, acids, and board maintenance. These notes come straight from our tests at the workshop counter.

1. 1

   what is the katori board made of

   Every board is crafted from solid Grade 1 commercially pure titanium sheet. It contains zero plastic liners, synthetic resins, or chemical sealing coatings. The metal is inherently non-porous and food neutral.

2. 2

   will titanium cutting boards dull my kitchen knives

   Grade 1 titanium is a softer metal than hardened knife cutlery steel, allowing blades to bite without chipping. While regular honing remains normal kitchen maintenance, the board yields slightly rather than blunting edges prematurely. Fine cosmetic track marks will appear on the board face over time.

3. 3

   how to clean and care for titanium board

   Wash the board with regular kitchen soap, a soft sponge, and warm water after cutting raw proteins or produce. It is also completely dishwasher safe and withstands high sanitizing heat cycles without bending. Dry it with a cloth or stand it vertically in a dish rack.

4. 4

   how do i pay for my workshop order

   We accept cash on delivery directly to your courier upon parcel handover, or upfront bank transfer. We do not process credit or debit cards on our website. Details for bank wire payments are supplied on the order completion screen.

5. 5

   can orders be delivered to an apartment without lift

   Couriers deliver directly to your apartment entrance door regardless of floor level or elevator access. Please ensure your physical address and contact telephone number are accurate during checkout so the driver can arrange access. Orders received on business days before 15:00 leave our Tacoma bench the same afternoon.

6. 6

   what happens if the board size does not fit my counter

   You may return an unused board in its original packaging within 30 days of parcel delivery. The buyer covers return shipping back to our Tacoma facility unless the product arrived damaged or incorrect. Once our workshop team checks the unused board, we issue your refund via bank transfer.
