    Is this a good price? With the RRP price of these knives being way overpriced, it's hard to tell.

    Much better option than the Victorinox set as the steel runs the length of the whole knife, and is riveted to the handle. Also has a lifetime guarantee. I bought the Sabre Set for $126 (with P30STYLE), before the price went back up, plus some extra matching steak knives from Catch and some glasses with a $15 off coupon.

    Also bought a Baccarat Cleaver using a $20 eBay voucher which I want to affix to the back of the wooden block somehow. Maybe with a thin magnet.

    My only concern is dust, so I think I'll keep them in the cupboard.

          Make sure you go through the find print of that warranty.

          For starters: The ‘’Lifetime Guarantee’’ starts from the date of purchase and continues for 25 years from this date

        • simulacrum on 24/06/2020 - 11:10
          +2

          That's a lifetime guarantee that the knife won't break or rust due to poor workmanship if handled in accordance with their instructions.. i've never had that happen to any of my knives.. not even cheap chinese Kiwi brand. So the guarantee is pretty useless and not related in any way to the cutting performance of the blade, sharpness or edge retention.

          You might find, for example, find every couple of weeks it starts to slide along tomato skin and won't bite in until the second or third pass unless you hone it. After the wire edge from the factory sharpen wears off in a month, you might find the honing doesn't work and you need to resharpen (which will be annoying on a whetstone due to the bolster, but thats a different matter). That poor retention won't be covered by the guarantee, it's just a characteristic of soft steel. And that's not even going into what kind of edge the steel takes on sharpening.

          I've used Victorinox fibrox filleting and boning knives and found them to be pretty good for the task, and to hold a nice edge for a standard steel. The tang of the blade does go into the handle, though it isn't rivetted. Plenty of pro butchers and chefs use these to process primary cuts of meat and fish.

      The tang isn't as important as you might think. You'll find a lot of japanese knives are partial tang only.

      Although, doing some research, it appears that victorinox are also full tang, they've just hidden it under that godawful (but very grippy and utilitarian) handle, see the rosewood variant. Baccarat uses low end steel, and while you'll find people saying that victorinox blades are soft, they're still significantly harder than anything you'll find baccarat using. The thing to keep in mind is, Baccarat is good at making pots and pans, not knives.

      Their knives are pretty, and using steel not dissimilar to the ones you'll find in colesworth. The thing is, Baccarat is marketed to people who've never owned a good knife. It is indeed a step up from the never been sharpened dull AF knives I'm sure all out parents had. I have a Baccarat set I picked up from when I first moved out, and I was pretty happy with it. Then one of my chef friends gave me a victorinox as a gift. Worlds different. I picked up a Tojiro Flash a while ago, and I'll never go back. I tried a little while ago, and you have to sharpen the Baccarat practically every month to maintain the edge either of my other knives can keep for 6 months to a year.

      A lifetime guarantee doesn't mean they wont go dull. I'm no metallurgist, but something tells me the steel used here is not one that holds and edge all that long. And at $10/knife you're probably not going to be bothered to sharpen them given the price of the appropriate tools to do so. So I'm not really sure there's much of a difference between a 25 year "guarantee" and a 5 year one in this case.

      Surprising given that German knives generally use a softer steel than Japanese and typically that prevents these kinds of issues. Just means they don't hold their sharp edge as long though

      • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2020 - 00:12

        They aren't German knives. They are made in China by a brand based in Hong Kong. The steel comes from Germany, apparently, but how would you know? It's probably just marketing made from Chinese steel.

          Yes, and I'm very happy with my set but I do love those knife blocks and do find myself lacking a few knives know and then, hence entertaining the idea.

          Thoughts are to buy a bread knife and a couple of others I've found wanting for and just get a bigger block separately.

          I also like that the global set I have are all metal so no separate pieces to the handle and they also balance nicely in the hand.

        Global is an established brand that is known for decent quality knives. They use cromova18 steel which takes and holds a decent edge and is relatively hard wearing.

        Baccarat is a brand that seems to source pretty looking knives made of mystery steel (ambiguously marketed as “German steel” or “japanese steel”) made in China advertised with ridiculous RRPs largely targeted at someone who wants a good looking knife set for display purposes. Though they aren’t likely to chip (due to the softer steels used) the edge is likely to roll/ bend causing it to lose sharpness very quickly. If you’re used to global’s edge retention you’ll probably find that these get relatively dull quite quickly by comparison. Definitely wouldn’t swap the globals for something like this.

        • db87 on 24/06/2020 - 10:12

          Thanks for the detailed input and to the others above.

          I'll stick with what I know then.

          Any recommendation for a decent sized block similar to this egg or even a square styled one?

          I've found they're grossly over priced for what is essentially a timber block with some plastic jammed into them. I've even entertained buying a cheaper knife set that includes the block just to give the wife some shitty knives to abuse and take the block for my globals. 🤔

            @db87: not sure.. i haven't used blocks for awhile.. they tend to dull the blade when stored edge down. If you can get a nice block of wood sized to fit a spare kitchen drawer and cut some slots in it with a circular saw deep enough to fully conceal the blade, you can lay your knives blade up in the drawer.

            Most knife enthusiasts seem to prefer to use magnetic stands. Check out kitchen knife forums.. its a treasure trove of info for/from knife geeks (eg: https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/ways-to-store-kni…).

      • mrbearski on 23/06/2020 - 22:36

        The only thing I can find on "german steel" is X50CrMoV15. Still very vague.

        • field1985 on 23/06/2020 - 23:31
          +11

          X50CrMoV15 is the most commonly used stainless steel type for kitchen knives by German manufacturers. It is a good steel type for a very wide public. The rust resistance is high and the cutting characteristics are perfect.
          Excellent for family use and professional use where not everyone is careful with the knives. For info: X stands for stainless, 50 for 0.50% carbon and 15 for 15% Chrome. In addition the steel contains small quantities of Molybdene and Vanadium to improve the grain structure and durability. Source

          • simulacrum on 24/06/2020 - 07:09

            @field1985: It’s a good description, but from what I can tell me bears Ji just googled “German steel” and x50crmov15 was one of the results. We don’t actually know that these knives are made of x50crmov15.. there are many steels made in Germany and this could be any of them.

        • sAmiZZle on 23/06/2020 - 23:51

          German knives generally use a softer steel than Japanese and typically that makes the blade more resilient to chipping and breakage from mishandling. However, they don't hold their sharp edge as long as Japanese steel. It's a tradeoff you have to decide which is better for you.

            @sAmiZZle: Might be perfect for the wife as she cuts lemons with my high carbon knives and they end up rusting over night and yesterday I caught her chopping on the kitchen bench! This steel sounds like it can handle acidity and mishandled a bit.

            +1

            @sAmiZZle: That and really depends largely in the treatment of the blade and what hardness it’s been brought to. The generalization may be informative if you look at german and Japanese knife manufacturers broadly and generalize the different approaches to blade design.. but this is a Chinese manufacturer without a coherent approach to blade design, largely aiming to make pretty looking knife sets for display and market them with catchy but ultimately meaningless terms, so I wouldn’t expect Your statement to be informative in this case. In this case the ambiguousness of the description (“German steel” or “Japanese steel”) is telling of the general reason for it - it is largely for marketing purposes rather than to convey the characteristics of the blade. The reality is these are fairly cheaply made Chinese knives made of whatever (maybe) German or Japanese steel stock the manufacturer could buy at the right price point and heat treated generically to (they claim 53hrc - which is relatively soft for what purports to be a high end knife)

        • simulacrum on 24/06/2020 - 07:06
          +1

          There are many many types of steel made in Germany and in japan. And even if you could identify the type of steel (which you really can’t based on the description they give) you wouldn’t be able to tell anything about the performance of the blade without being able to trust the manufacturer to heat treat it properly (which in this case you likely can’t). The statements on various baccarat knives saying “German steel” or “Japanese steel” are entirely meaningless, and there to attract customers who have heard that German steel or Japanese steel represents high quality.

      I was always taught to wipe knives with a cloth that's been dunked in hot soapy water then ringed, then dry the knife, I've never submerged my knifes in the sink.

      Submerging knives blunts them over time also worse if there's dishes hitting against the blade itself. Also as macrozmitch said, the water gets into the handle.
