Thanks - I was having trouble understanding that myself.  Now I get it.  The blade has a crescent shape to it.  You need a convex cutting board to make it work.  I better check Amazon for that cutting board....., 

Ah, but a chef's knife is designed to be rolled, so a crescent shaped knife would be fine, unless you don't know how to use it. Then I guess you're going to see that there's space between the knife and the board everywhere except in one spot

I did not know that.

The problem here is its concave, not convex crescent.

Ugghhhh eBay sellers claiming books are unread is the most annoying thing in the world. Thanks for the completely irrelevant, unprovable claims random ebay seller. 

 

One other thing that doesn't really fit in this thread that drives me crazy are eBay sellers who list the "grab bag" sales. Even if they do actually own the grail that they list is possible to win, with absolutely no accountability or system of checks and balances why would they supposedly randomly box it up for someone to potentially win?? Maybe some people here do those on eBay and could validate them as real, but jaded me says they are all scams
