A thick plastic cutting board that works well for large cutting tasks. Environmentally friendly recycled plastic. Will last forever and is easy on knives.

I usually reach for a santoku when I need to slice or dice. These two knives will take care of 95% of cutting tasks. While they are at the low end of the Henckels line, they have served me well.
