Are the blades Walnut/Medium Oak, or Walnut/Dark Cherry ? Amazon's item description lists it both ways. Thanks

The way I read it, the blades are two colors (walnut one side, medium oak the other side) so you can choose the color you want when you install it.

They are more heavy than stock blades...almost 1/16" thicker. I cut 5 acres with some maples and oaks four times know and they are still doing well. Hope that helps

I believe the cherry is darker, but i have not seen the fruitwood. I have the cherry and it goes great with my antique walnut dining room set.

They are actually darker than shown in the picture. I would say they are more on the dark walnut side.

The planer has three blades but I am not sure about the ease of changing them as I have not had too yet. I have planed many board feet of black walnut and cherry and they are still sharp and produce very good results.

Its not so dark as a cherry, but its not a light oak either. I'd call it medium.

Oak typically is a more porous wood. For cutting boards a tighter grain wood such as ash, maple is better. Oak will work though.

You are correct, the actual walnut is a bit darker than this. The picture is about 20% diff. You can look at our other products which has walnut on.

I would say it IS "orangier" than oak, I would maybe call it a dark maple. It's even redder and darker than a pecan. We love ours, I matches our woodwork exactly!

I have cut black walnut slightly thicker than1.5 inches. I cut compound chess pieces, complete set, without difficulty. Blade quality also is an important factor. Hope this helps.

The blades are not metal. I think it's possibly wood with a plastic type of covering.

It is correct. Cherry is supposed to be dark. I saw the dark walnut and it is pretty light. Not sure why they called it dark. I bought the cherry and it is very dark wood. But I really like it.

Darkish oak--not the lighter blond oak. Truly a medium brown in color. Nice looking.

The a bit between. Definitely leaning more toward walnut though. I was on the fence about it when I ordered these, but they are really quite nice and very comfortable. The curves and rich color of the wood draw comments from a lot of our guests. Everybody loves them.

Much lighter than photo. I'd say walnut is accurate though a touch darker than you may expect. That photo is not accurate at all though

No problem with knife slots... be aware, the color is not really walnut. It's like dark cherry.

Where the blade meets the walnut handle is maybe 1.5 cm or so (not really wide like some steak knives) and then it tapes as seen in the pic. What I've liked is that they aren't serrated, so they cut with a clean, sealing 'style' (don't lose as much juice) and you can sharpen them.
