Black Velvet
You're looking at boards. You should make the leap and grab this one. Rich, velvety black finish, super light and easy to handle. I've had mine just about a month and a few cuts are starting to show, but the dark plastic hides them a lot better than a light board. You can only see if the lights hit it just right. Very nice fit and finish, nice textured finish. I am looking to purchase the larger one next. I have the smaller size, and use it primarily for veggie prep with a 170cm knife or so ...
If you're thinking of a squishier hi-soft board, research into the topic indicates that there is only a very small penalty for FPEL over that stickier rubber, and you're still way ahead of other types of materials, including harder woods.
