It's known for blunting carpenters' tools, so I guess it would be hard for your knives too.
FWIW I think beech is supposed to be good due to some antiseptic properties maybe and taste neutral. -
If you're chopping in the kitchen I guess you're using a steel to sharpen your knives?
Just give them a little touch every time you use them. Just avoid a granite work top.

When we got the kitchen done I made up a chopping board from some of the oak worktop offcuts. I think I have to sharpen more often than I used to - is oak a bad material for cutting on?
