My experience with cutting boards. I keep a maple cutting board for veggies, herbs, breads, carving cooked meats, etc. etc. etc. I have a plastic board, a big one I bought from Sam's Club or Wal-Mart or somewhere for raw meats, and then I also keep flexible cutting boards, the cheapo ones, that I buy from Amazon, or Kroger depending. The Wal-Mart ones are too cheap for me, they don't last as long. I use those whenever I'm chopping a LOT of stuff, makes cleaning the board so much easier. Take it for what it's worth.

The only advice I'd give regarding knives is to give up using a dishwasher for them. Even cheapo knives aren't really meant for a dishwasher. They can go in, but that doesn't mean they 'should' go in. If you want good knives, you're going to want to hand wash those bad boys whenever you're done with them, or wipe them down at the very least and set them aside until you can hand wash them. Good habits for knives!

+1 for a bit white cheap plastic cutting board for meats. For about twenty bux you can have one and they are probably the best and easiest to clean up. They are likely too big for a dishwasher if you get one large enough fro ribs and brisket, but they clean up quickly with a soapy sponge in the sink.

I have 2 if the epicurean cutting boards, one for raw meats and the other for everything else. I've been putting them in the dishwasher for 2 years and haven't had a problem with them.

As for knives, i have a couple decent ones from Ikea and a couple my ex-in-laws got from a family of knife makers. They all get hand washed.

I have used the Victorinox w/the vibrox handles and they were just fine
