Each and every surface that you cut on is going to dull your knife. Glass is the worst, as it's really hard, next to counter tops(which also chip). Bamboo is actually a good thing to use, as is any type of wood. While they damage more easily, they are much easier on the knife!

Wood or bamboo cutting boards will not necessarily dull a knife faster, than say, a plastic cutting board. In fact, natural or organic cutting boards are better.

No- All wood cutting boards contain glues and/or resins. No matter what cutting surface you have, using your wonderful knives will eventually dull them. If you hone them regularly it will be a long time before you have to sharpen them.
