Abstract
A cutting mat includes at least one edge having a nonlinear shape. By nonlinear shape, it is meant that at least one edge of the cutting mat does not follow a single, straight path across the entire length of that edge. For example, a cutting mat may have opposing nonlinear circumferential edges. The cutting mat may include nonlinear axial edges in lieu of, or in addition to the nonlinear circumferential edges.
