I do have a nicer board .... a big thick one I use most often.

I use several boards for different things ... one specifically for meat ... one for just garlic and onions ... another for fruits ... and a general one for everything else.

It's the smaller cheaper ones that annoy me. I use them because they're cheap and you use for a year or two and replace them easily. I just don't understand why you need a handhold for a small cutting board. But today I was holding in my hand and just started playing around with it wrapping my fingers around the hand hold and I automatically started treating it like a weapon to push, pull, swing and hit things with.

I've also been gifted older type cutting boards that look like a paddle. These ones are definitely melee weapons.

They're melee weapons .... lol
