I have a corian cutting board.
It does get scratches, but not real bad.

that must do wonders for your knive edges....

Corian says

"They are less damaging to knives..."

Yes, I believe them.

Would that lead one to conclude that Corian is soft?

No.

It's not soft.

What do you have against Corian?

My cutting board is 4 years old and the scratches
are invisible to the eye. I can feel them with my fingers.
I guess if I spent more elbow grease with a scrub pad
the scratches would disappear. I'm not worried about it.

The plastic acts like teflon, it's easy to cut on and the
sharp edge of the knife sinks in just enough that the knife
stays sharp. You can feel the cuts but they're hard to see.

The plastic is quite hard. It easily breaks glasses dropped
on it. It will not scratch if you drag a pot or pan across it.
You'd have to use something hard and sharp and press down with
force and then move it.

It's also very repairable and has a lifetime guarantee that
I can attest to.

I am not being paid by Corian.
Not yet anyway.
