Not unless you can use it to order take out.
The board was from my sister a few years ago. This year she knows I’ll be off my feet for a minute and gave me a gift certificate from this place.
I gave my brother a Thermopen
Nice gift card. 
This might interest (popped up in my news feed this morning):
"[F]lavour in coffee brewing is directly tied to the surface area of ground coffee particles, with water extracting flavour from smaller particles quicker than it can from bigger grounds where less surface is exposed.
“It will alter the taste, because subtle changes in particle size distributions make a huge difference in rate of extraction,” said Hendon. “I wouldn’t be surprised if people struggled to achieve balanced extractions.”
To help out with the testing, Hendon teamed up with coffee roasters from a local specialty coffee store, and the researchers suggest their findings aren’t simply limited to maximising coffee flavour – because even grinds can deliver more flavour from less coffee, it ultimately means a more efficient way of making coffee.
And that’s important, because using coffee more efficiently isn’t just in the interest of aficionados – given the world could soon be facing a huge coffee shortage, any new discoveries that can improve how we ultimately brew our morning pick-me-ups have to be welcomed with open arms."
Post-Christmas Culinaria - received an e-mail from Sur La Table about a sale they’re having and I bought a Scanpan 11" grill pan for almost half price with free shipping. We have another grill pan, a de Buyer carbon steel, but it’s round, and has higher sides. I wanted a pan to use with skewers for sate, steak tips/kabobs, teriyaki shrimp, and vegetables. This seems like it will serve my needs. I only cook for the two of us, and don’t use an outdoor grill anymore. Looking forward to playing with it. Our meals have become so predicable.
Umm. I’ll take it off your hands if you wish.
You chose husbands well. It’s the Zwilling-licensed Kramer–a very nice knife.
You should definitely use it! And if you want to also display it, Kramer offers a very nice vertical magnetic “rack” (more like a face) that will show it off splendidly.
That knife is gorgeous. I keep getting tempted by it when Cutlery and More has sales.
That board looks familiar… (except mine is a cheap knock-off)
I was curious about weight, so I just checked mine and it’s 16 pounds. Ug. I usually only drag it out for pizza or a very large roast or turkey. Yours looks to be of similar size (16x16x2.5 inches), but when I got this thing I oiled it every day for a month, so I think there’s a pound or two of mineral oil in it.
My “everyday” board is 17x14, close to the same surface area, but is a bit under an inch thick and only weighs 4 pounds.
Ooooooh! I saw something, somewhere (on tv) about how that style of knife is created. So beautiful! I think your great looking cutting board would make a beautiful display platform or even a pedestal for an objet d’art.
Better $500 than $15,000 for the version Kramer makes. Maybe that’ll be next year’s gift.
I sold my Kramer hunting knife too cheap!
You mean it is better to giver the $500 knives to sons and daughters than the $15,000 ones? His knives are getting expensive. I am sure his knives are great, but mentally… it is just strange a kitchen knife is almost the price of a car.
Familiar to me, too 
Mine cracked almost immediately when I got it. In a corner, and not all the way through. That part stays face down on the counter. It’s 15.5” x 15.5” and 2.5” thick. A wanna be, for sure.
The crack
Put some fillings in – if you want.
Judges?
Yes.
Someone is more likely to use the $500 version, as opposed an original locked away in a safe as an investment.
You bet.
Eh. Like I said, I’ll just keep it turned over. I’m getting up there in years; the board will probably outlast me.
It’s certainly an explanation I’d be inclined to wield.
Curious, how does one ruin it? Drop onto hard surface and crack it?
