Self-healing cutting mat

Purpose

Give a safe, blade-friendly surface for craft and leather cutting.

Used in kits

• Overland Camp Kitchen Kit

  Camping

• Leatherworking Starter Kit

  MYOG

Alternatives

• Poly cutting board— Cheap and firm; dulls blades faster than a self-healing mat.

Maintenance notes

• Store flat; heat and sun warp it permanently.

Buying considerations

• A printed grid speeds square, measured cuts.
• Bigger is better if the bench allows.
