I believe that the oak is corrosive but while walking through the kitchen last night it occurred to me that all our knives are kept in an oak "block". No inserts, doesn't appear to be any sealer, but the knives haven't had a problem with rust. Same for all our tableware. Wife has an oak divider-thing in the drawer to hold the forks, spoons, etc. Still no rust problem.
Any thoughts on this?
