Do very sharp knives cut through the plastic rods?

Not in my experience. I do not keep my kitchen knives razor-sharp but they are sharpened enough to easily cut through chicken, etc.Have never had an issue.

I've owned this for about 7 months and it currently holds (2) steel and (2) ceramic knives that are very sharp. I have not seen any damage to the plastic rods. I really like this knife holder.

Every Knife Fits in well, I love this product, The Knives insert themselves between the the plastic rod, they don't cut them

No. The knives go in parallel to the rods so the rods surround the blades. Most of our knives are very sharp and I have not seen any damage to the rods. We have two and love them both.

in my experience, yes. i've had this knife block for a year. i use this to store 1 victorinox chef's knife, 4 steak knives, and 1 pair of scissors. i found that the chef's knife has cut through multiple rods even though i don't sharpen it, and some rods have been severely bent. i will still keep using it, but i'll have to find another way to put the knives in (top of the blade in first?) and be more careful about it.

Most don't. We always keep our knives sharpened well and haven't had a problem. However, I bought a super sharp Victorinox bread knife with an edge with tiny serrations, and put it in there. It did cut at least one of the inner plastic rods. I decided not to store it there anymore.

NO, you cant cut them..they have glass particles inside of them and you can get hurt...and once they break IF they break you can't use them any more..also dont scrub them with anything rough...

Not that I've seen. If you find some, be sure to use longer screws to attach them or the screws will just fall out. I broke the plastic guides on my first slicer because I was using a knife that was too short. I believe the knife I am currently using is at least 10".

The sharp instrument (razor, exacto knife, rotary blade) that you use to cut things on this board will naturally cut into the board itself. No plastic is truly self healing..Self-healing materials have a structural ability so that the cutline or the crack that your knife makes in the plastic surface when you cut, basically bounces back into the same position as it was when it was whole. So the cuts on the mat do not affect it's ability help you cut a straight line every time.

Yes, they are easily removed and sharpened. They are EXTREMELY sharp, and highly effective at slicing. I wear kevlar gloves as extra insurance, and am careful. This is a superb, very well-built device.

Sorta. There is a rotary disc that will cut through plastic, but I haven't tried it with anything metal like. You can see them in the primary image. It's a disc that's the same color as the sanding drum inside the flex shaft loop. In reality, they are hard & black and cut plastic well. I haven't tried metal or wood.

No, the sharp edge of the scissors usually is more than 45 degrees (some times near 70 degrees), and this tool has an angle of 15~20 for carbide and 30~35 for ceramic. If you are a very skilled person, you could use the rod. But for me it is not a good solution.

The hot knife will clean cut, but I'm not sure how hard or thick your plastic is. Some things cut cleaner than others and it may take a little practice figuring out the right pressure and speed of your cutting. Plastic does melt so that might leave melted pieces on your line. I would try it out on a spare piece or something similar to make sure it does what you want before using it on an important project. If it's kinda thick, it may be hard to do. Good luck.

With great results? No. Can it be done, yes. If you hold the knife stable and then run the rod on part of the spine that isn't serrated, you can get sparks. I would advise grinding the spine without serrations to a good 90 degree bend. By the handle the spine isn't serrated.

Yes, of course! you will need a attachment for cutting plastic. But it is better to do it another tool, such as a circular saw with a blade for cutting plastic. here's my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye7BbO9AJn8

As far as the serrations I use a diamond rod. For the edge I use a small diamond stone very lightly, going with the edge and then away to take off the wire edge.

There is a metal rod that comes with the kit, but I don't use it at all and cut bottles just fine. I've been using the cutter avidly (already on the second blade) and it's useless in my opinion.

The easy answer to your question is no. It will cut them. It requires strength but this is the inherent problem with the design. The harder items to cut (potatoes, carrots, even onions) require more downward force. That downward force places strain on the pivot point (the plastic hinge pins). This can cause them to crack. They have thickened the plastic around the hinges but it's not enough. They need to make the whole base out of a better grade of plastic.

No, wish it did. Very sharp. I retained the cardboard packaging. Works well to protect it.

I dunno. I bought some of these as gifts (kids birthday parties, etc.) and have given them away so I don't know for certain. I have bought and used similar things (Orikaso brand) and cut gently cut on them. I definitely wouldn't use a sharp Swiss Army knife on them for fear of cutting right through the plastic. I think an adult or a careful kid could safely cut with a sharp knife, though, knowing they stand to slice through the plastic if they press too hard. Hope this helps. Happy camping!

These are made to cut wire, so plastic should be no problem. The cuts are as clean and flush as they can possibly be. You may still need to sand a little.

Yes they do, but be extremely careful when putting in, cause they're pretty sharp and will cut the sheath.
