I've been in the stone repair business for a decade or so and can't recall ever being called to repair a chipped bullnose edge.

Spilled liquids on a bullnose edge travel over the side and keep going around and under and either stay there on the underside of the counter to turn into an unseen sticky mess or drip straight onto the cabinets below. Yuck.

Have your fabricator cut a 1/8" deep drip slot in the bottom of the top right after the profile stops. You can't see it, it's easy to clean, and no liquids can jump the slot, they must fall to the floor. It's physics.

3 years with my eased edge and no chips. Joseph, how common a problem is that really?

Granted, my kitchen is new (finished in mid-october 2016), but I don't have the dripping issues I keep hearing about with bullnose. I chose it before hearing about the issue, thank goodness, or might have chosen differently. I love the edge. Of course, whenever I wipe down the counter, I make it a point to wipe just over the edge as well. I think I would do that with any edge. DH is in the kitchen much more than I. He cooks five days a week, I cook two. He doesn't wipe the edge as I do, but still no drips.

" Joseph, how common a problem is that really?"

It's not a problem, but it's a popular myth like the zero edge sink corners being difficult to clean. I just enjoy coming up with real practical solutions to theoretical problems.

I had eased edge quartz for 13 years with no chips.

"it's a popular myth like the zero edge sink corners being difficult to clean"

It wasn't a myth in my kitchen.

I wasn't willing to give up the look of the eased edge on my quartz because of a fear of chips. I'm at five years without any edge chips. I do have a tiny chip on my sink edge that I only discovered by feeling it. I would be careful with cast iron pans in the sink. Luna Pearl looks like a hard granite, and a repaired chip would blend in with the speckled minerals, so I wouldn't hesitate to use the eased edge.

We have had an eased edge for about 6 months and we did find a chip at the sink edge about a month ago. I think the sink area is the main place where we have to be careful because that is where we are bringing things that might clank against the edge. (Our Karbon faucet increases that risk because it is sometimes pulled out further than normal. A regular faucet wouldn't increase the risk as much, IMO.)

We just repaired the chip ourselves this past weekend with this kit. It was pretty simple to fix and it looks great. (I can't vouch for the repair's longevity since it was just 3 days ago, but I'm assuming it will be fine.) Now I'm less scared of it happening again, but I am trying to be more aware when bringing pots to the sink.

I would still choose an eased edge because I really like the look over all other edges.

We went with a 1/4 bevel, and I really like it. We have a raised bar area on the island, and the beveled edge makes it really comfortable when people are standing around and leaning on the island (like they inevitably do even though we have a big table!). My husband also uses his laptop there, and it's more comfortable to rest his arms on. The sink cutout is eased, and so far no chips.
