Rada’s 8-Piece Essential Oak Block Set is ideal for any home cook or aspiring chef looking for a reliable assortment of essential knives. The set includes a slicer, Cook’s Knife, 6" Bread Knife, Tomato Slicer, Super Parer, Cook’s Utility and Regular Paring Knife, all housed in a locally made, handcrafted 100 percent solid red oak block. The seven included knives cover nearly every kitchen task, from slicing bread to chopping vegetables, mincing herbs, and trimming meats. Each blade is crafted from surgical-grade T420 high-carbon stainless steel and hollow-ground for exceptional sharpness and edge retention. Non-serrated blades can be easily resharpened at home using Rada’s Quick Edge Knife Sharpener. Satin silver brushed aluminum handles are designed for comfort, safety, and precise control during food prep. The empty slots in the oak block allow you to add six additional knives—steak knives or paring knives—so your set grows with your culinary needs. This set makes a practical, beautiful and long-lasting gift for weddings, housewarmings, holidays or anyone who loves to cook.
