Your tableware is probably nickel coated/plated or stainless.

True, the knives and tableware are stainless but the sharpening rod that sits in the block is some kind of carbon steel and still doesn't corrode.
I know the block is made of "oak" but I don't really know what kind of oak. Are all "oaks" equal as far as corrosive properties go?
