GSI Outdoors RAKAU Knife Set – a compact outdoor food-prep kit
The GSI Outdoors RAKAU Knife Set brings three useful kitchen knives and essential food-prep accessories together in one travel-friendly package. Designed for outdoor cooking, it combines a Santoku chef's knife, serrated bread knife and paring knife with a bamboo cutting board, sharpener, microfiber cloth and rPET storage case.
Key benefits
- Three dedicated knives: a 3.5" paring knife, 6" Santoku chef's knife and 6" serrated bread knife.
- Stainless-steel blades: a practical material choice for camp and travel kitchens.
- 7 × 11" bamboo cutting board: dual-sided with a juice gutter for food preparation.
- Protected for transport: each knife comes with a blade sheath and the complete kit packs into an rPET cloth case.
- Useful maintenance accessories: a knife sharpener and quick-drying microfiber dishcloth are included.
Three knives for different kitchen tasks
The 6" Santoku chef's knife features Granton scallops and provides a versatile option for everyday chopping and slicing. The 6" serrated bread knife is intended for bread and foods with a firmer crust, while the compact 3.5" paring knife is suited to peeling and more precise preparation work.
Designed for camp kitchens and travel
The packed set measures approximately 295 × 191 × 51 mm, keeping the main food-preparation tools together in a relatively compact format. It is a practical solution for camp kitchens, campervans, overland vehicles and other situations where organised storage matters.
Cutting board and accessories
The dual-sided bamboo cutting board provides a working area of approximately 178 × 279 mm and incorporates a juice gutter. The set also includes a knife sharpener and a quick-drying microfiber cloth with different surfaces for lighter wiping and more intensive cleaning.
Materials and care
The knife blades are stainless steel, while GSI Outdoors describes the handles as being made from sustainably sourced wood. The storage case uses rPET material. GSI recommends hand washing with warm, soapy water, drying all components thoroughly and avoiding abrasive cleaners. Wooden components should not be left soaking in water.
