This eight-piece Essential Oak Block Set includes an Essential Oak Block and seven of the most useful larger knives available (the empty slots remaining give you the freedom to purchase six additional knives of your choice—steak knives or any of our paring knives—to round out your set).

  • The 8-piece Essential Oak Block Set includes the Essential Oak Block, Slicer, Cook’s Knife, 6ʺ Bread Knife, Tomato Slicer, Super Parer, Cook’s Utility, and Regular Paring Knife.
  • Locally made, handcrafted, 100% solid red oak block.
  • Knife blades are hand-sharpened, surgical-grade T420 high-carbon stainless steel for maximum edge retention and hollow ground to achieve and maintain a sharp edge that lasts. When sharpening is needed for non-serrated blades, it’s an easy and inexpensive at-home process with our Quick Edge Knife Sharpener.
  • Available with a choice of silver satin aluminum handles or black resin handles. Handles are offset or have a built-in finger guard to protect fingers while cutting.

The Extraordinary Value of The Essential Oak Block Set

DESCRIPTION

Rada’s Essential Oak Block Set is wonderful for any home cook or chef who wants a great lineup of essential knives ready and waiting. It features seven different knives with an almost limitless variety of uses and an attractive oak storage block to protect the blades of those knives (tossing them into a drawer can cause dings) and consequently, your fingers as well.

RECOMMENDED USES

Ready for your own home or as a remarkable, treasured gift for weddings, housewarmings, birthdays, holidays, and more. The wonderful Essential Oak Block Set provides the tools to make cooking fun and easy for people who want to enjoy the time they spend in the kitchen. 

BLADE

To assure our customers get the best knives available, all Rada blades are crafted from surgical-quality T420 high-carbon stainless steel for a lifetime of durability then hollow ground for incredible sharpness. Designed with frequent use in mind, non-serrated, hollow-ground blades can be easily re-sharpened to achieve a like-new blade again and again. For easy at-home sharpening of non-serrated blades, check out Rada’s Quick Edge Knife Sharpener. All pieces in this set except the 6ʺ Bread Knife and Tomato Slicer can be sharpened.

HANDLE

This set has two handle options. The silver handle is made from permanently cast silver brushed aluminum and has a satin finish. The black handle is constructed from black stainless steel resin. Both are incredibly durable and fit beautifully into any kitchen décor.

Ready to Last a Lifetime

  • A dull knife is a dangerous knife! Keep your blades sharp. When Rada’s high-quality non-serrated blades need sharpening, there’s no need for a professional knife-sharpening service. You can do it yourself in a matter of seconds with the modest but oh-so incredibly effective Quick Edge Knife Sharpener.

  • Rada recommends hand washing all fine cutlery. Hand washing prevents microscopic dings on a knife blade’s cutting edge, eliminates the harsh environment created by a dishwasher’s high temperatures and abrasive detergents that will negatively affect its handle, and ultimately extends the life of the knife.

    While Rada’s black handle knives and utensils are more dishwasher tolerant than the silver handles, hand washing is still recommended.

    It boils down to this: When knives last a lifetime like Rada Cutlery knives do, you want them to remain in tip-top condition so you can enjoy them for a lifetime.

  • Since 1948, Rada Cutlery has been crafting knives that stand the test of time. The hand-sharpened, razor-sharp edge of the surgical-quality, T420 high-carbon stainless steel blade ensures that durability reaches our customers...for a lifetime of use.

    Every one of our products is handcrafted in the heart of the USA, with materials only from America. Our strong heritage and Midwest values assure dependability you can believe in and sharp good looks you’ll be proud to have in your home.

    Outstanding knives. Exceptional value. That’s the Rada way.
