Does chopping directly over granite countertop will harm it?
Granite is one of the toughest stones in the world and will not be affected by knives. After cutting directly on my granite countertop, I have experienced that my knives get dull after a few uses only. So cutting directly over a granite countertop will not affect the countertop material but it will affect the sharpness of your knife. I have installed granite countertop in my kitchen with the help of pros at countertopshop.net and mostly I avoid chopping things directly over the countertop. My granite kitchen countertop was installed around 4 years ago and still, it looks like a new one. Cheers!!
