Rada Essential Oak 8 Piece Knife Block Set, Black Handles

Love these knives! Light weight & sharp!

Smaller than expected

The knives look good but don't put them in the dishwasher or it will ruin the handle color on the aluminum :/

I haven't used it. I am going to send it back. The handles on some of the knives are just too small for my hands. The block is beautiful as are the knives. Too bad some of them don't fit my hands very well.

Not really a review just an observation. I love Rada. I bought a block set about 20 years ago. It appears to be a much better set than what is currently available. Had chefs. bread, butcher, super paring, regular paring, plus peeler, meat slicer and fork.

I was constrained by finances when needing to purchase new knives. They are sharp, but the blades are thin, actually curve when pressure is applied to the side. They are not full tang, and the handle on the Cook's knife has a raised resin line that is rough and causes irritation. The block doesn't really fit the larger knives/no customized slots and came with one foot off that my husband had to super glue back in place. They're rubber and only stapled onto the block. The knives work, and are budget friendly made in the US, and things made in the US are really hard to find these days.

I have used Rada knives for about 20 years. Still have my first knife - small chef knife. I have also given them as gifts. A little about my background - I am a bit of a knife -guy, and folks ask me for advice about knives -kitchen, survival, tactical, self-defense, etc. As a former Army soldier (Recon) - knives are more than a tool, one's life can depend on them. Rada knives are impressive. They may appear too thin for serious work in the kitchen - until you use them. The hollow ground edge is crazy sharp - and more importantly, can be resharpened easily. They are light and easy to use for hours. My experience and those that I have given these knives to - is excellent. The only complaint is they are 'too sharp'. Highly recommend-if you want something for real use, not for showing off. I have discovered many cooking professionals use these as well. Best kept secret in the kitchen knife world. And made in the USA.

I understand the caution about washing knives in dishwasher, however it did not mention the discoloration of the knives after one washing in the dishwasher would be significant. The knives are great, but the information regarding care of the product was not clear.

My husband has been unhappy with every single steak knife I ever bought. Until now - he loves the RADA steak knives. I love to cook, and with all the chopping and slicing for winter food, the whole set in their beautiful block are an early Christmas present from me to me. And thank you for supporting the causes I believe in!

I LOVE this. The block could be of better quality, but the knives are the BEST ever. I would have purchased this for the bread knife alone. I love the RADA knives!

I have had Rada knives for years, they are beyond my favorite knives to have! I was so excited to get the knife block with some new knives and also the 6 slots on the bottom to hold my existing knives I already had.

I got the silver set and absolutely love them they are beautiful and very shiny! And they cut perfectly!

I have had 2 different RADA pairing knives for about 20 years. They are the sharpest knives I have ever had. I never even thought about trying to find them on the internet until recently. I knew them as something you get at fund raisers or someone who sales them. The oak block is perfect and the new set of knives are as great as my original 2. BUY THEM!! You won’t be sorry.

Ive Had one knife for about 10 years and still my favorite and still sharp( never sharpened it) i I got it from a fund raiser. One day I looked to see if you could by then. Im so happy . Really the best knives

Love your knifes they are always sharp and love the paring knife I am going to get my son a set for Christmas thank you

I actually bought 2 Rada knives many years ago at a gift store in Amana, IA, & no other knives compared to them. As a result of the pandemic, I'm not eating out & am cooking all the time, so I felt I needed more knives. Went online to your website & selected what I needed. Seeing the directions I have with my new knives, I wish I had known all those years ago NOT to put my 2 Rada knives in the dishwasher, as the handles are very dark & tarnished looking. I won't be making that mistake with the new ones!

The knives are sharp and make slicing and cutting easy. The tomato knives are especially good. Product is well made and the Oak Block is a nice addition. They were delivered on time and I’m very pleased with my purchase.

We have been purchasing single knives for years and I was so happy to purchase the full set and block for my husband (who does most to the cooking) for our 10th Anniversary.

I purchased this set as a Birthday gift and it was perfect! My friend has several Rada pieces so this oak block set was a wonderful addition to her kitchen. She loved that there were a few extra spaces to place some of the knives she already had in it with the new knives. The oak block itself is very beautiful. As always, this is a great Rada product.

I love the items I got. I'm glad my niece was able to get credit for it with me being in a different state. I wished I could order more and she gets credit for it again if I did order more
