NeverFirst, no we'll never fall out over B&O, but I'm crushed.

Tfar, the best solution I found to prevent our knives dulling was a set of the Rösle Schneidauflage, or colour cutting mats. They are available in North America. I was skeptical at first but they actually work, as the knive blade side is semi-soft.

I also have an extra Pellkartoffelgabel or two: Just say the word. Only not in the Rimowa luggage: Too confusing to the inspectors.
