Not bad; I'd still rather not use it for food, since if it did shatter, the food would be full of glass particles. I'll use a plastic cutting board, thanks.

Gee, minor fugue for Dan. That's what happens when things are well tempered. ;-)

Topspin - sssssss
Shadow - yeah, it'll take the edge off of a knife far too fast, but I was surprised that it took as much abuse from the glass cutter as it did.

I was installing a tempered glass shower door a few years back, and (I swear I didn't hit anything) it exploded in my hands. There were glass bits in the next room on top of the window casing. I wish I'd had a video of that for youtube.
Outcome - I called Kohler, began to tell the customer service lady what happened and before I got to the "glass exploded" part, she said "Oh no! were you hurt?" I having come from the electrical equipment industry, where the first and only mandated reflex is to deny any responsibility for anything, this was a very pleasant surprise. The new door was delivered first thing the next morning. I'm now a complete Kohler fan.

Re: Kohler. It's amazing how a small customer service difference completely changes things.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
