    this is not a good set of knives

    i've got this exact set. they're adequate, but not anywhere near the quality the RRP suggests. there's always an offer on a few of their ranges.
    these are always a laugh on marketplace, people receiving them as a free gift, then trying to sell for more than the full offer package costs quoting said inflated RRP.

    The metal used in these knives is quite soft and doesn't retain an edge for an extended amount of time.
    They look cool though.

    Regularly go on sale for $200-$250

    Agreed that the air fryer is probably $50-$70

      it's 53 rockwell hardness, soft alloy means less likely to chip, easier to sharpen and higher chromium so less likely to rust BUT it does mean doesn't hold an edge as long, My japanese VG10 alloy knives hold better edge BUT also chip easier than softer german alloys … it depends what characteristics you want in a knife and how much care you will give it, and how often you will sharpen it … all knives go blunt and will need sharpening at some stage.

    This crap again…

    Just buy a couple of good knives and you'll be far better off

    • garage sale on 22/08/2024 - 15:22

      also need a block unless you just throw in the draw … $300 doesn't go far if mixing and matching pieces vs bundle, you can get a set of global for this price BUT need to like the Global handles and not everybody does.

        Or a mag strip for the wall, much better than a block in terms of space and accessibility (the IKEA one is good).

        • mickeyjuiceman on 22/08/2024 - 21:37

          LOL @ the moron downvoting this

    I'd steer clear of anything Baccarat, if you're happy with it this set is only worth spending about $100 on.

    The Global set they've copied was around $250 during EOFY sales.

    If you need a quality, well priced set then you'll be happy with these. (please note that I haven't made any effort to look for the best price or look around for what else may be a current bargain set).

    Horrible deal.

    Clearly copying a Global set, which you can buy for similar price…. and it's GLOBAL, not this crap.

    The $1150 RRP is an absolute joke!! There are many actually decent knife block sets you can buy, and none of them are $1150. This is overinflated rubbish and then some.

    • Makaveli99 on 22/08/2024 - 17:31

      Yes it’s to trick people - hook, line & sinker

  • moooz on 22/08/2024 - 14:01

    If you want that food release, and a higher quality knife, get some Glestain knives on sale.
    Or if food release isn't priority number 1, get some Victorinox. So much better than this garbage

    As other people have said, don't buy Baccarat knives. From their cheapest to their most expensive knives, they're all made from one of two usable but a little soft and generally considered low quality steels.

  • mbck on 22/08/2024 - 15:00

    The issue isnt the steel. Its easy to sharpen and doesnt rust, which is what the average people (me included) need.

    The issue is, its 200 dollars too expensive probably….

    • garage sale on 22/08/2024 - 15:24

      butcher knives are soft steel compared to japanese steel but are easy to sharpen and butchers sharpen often …

      • mbck on 22/08/2024 - 16:09

        There are japanese steel butcher knives out there too.

        Ofc butchers sharpen often, that's their literal tool…

        The point was, if the steel is cheap, why pay 299?
        There is nothing wrong with these usability wise, except for the price.

        If youre paying for 299, you'd want something that doesn't need constant sharpening….

      They try so hard to imply that it's made in Japan, without actually saying it's made in Japan.

      The Baccarat Damashiro EMPEROR Japanese Steel has been mined in the same Japanese region of Chuo-Ku Chiba since the middle of the last century.

      All they're able to claim is that the iron was dug out of the ground in Japan. I'll bet it was shipped off to Chi… sorry, the PRC… and made into stainless steel according to the 420J2 standard. Which, by all accounts, is an inexpensive steel that is softer than any steel typically used by reputable knife makers.

      • ohgee on 22/08/2024 - 21:33

        Agreed. But it isn't even necessarily the steel that's in question. I purchased a Baccatrash knife block many years ago for around $99 only to find it at TK Maxx soon after for ~$30 odd, no one could complain about that price but it's the handles that fail and crack to render the knives unusable. Spend a little more, care for your knives and never buy again.

  • samkenny on 22/08/2024 - 15:29

    Got my first "good" set of knives only not to read the fine print as they looked so good. Finally, will get proper knives when I go to Japan.

  • SirFaffer on 22/08/2024 - 19:09

    House are such scammers with their RRPs. Nothing is EVER the RRP.

  • Drpepper666 on 22/08/2024 - 19:43

    The finest blades made since Hattori Hanzo. Sugoi!

  • marcaum123 on 23/08/2024 - 15:13

    I recommend buying a 210mm gyutto from Tojiro (every now and then they are sold for 60-70 aud) along with a Victorinox Bread knife (sometimes at 25-30 aud) and an ok pairing/utility knife for 5-10 aud. If you're really feel the need for something more sturdy instead of sharp, go for the 10inch Victorinox Chef knife (~50 aud) to replace the gyutto.
    And if you want to complete the set, buy an ok (15aud) boning knife. Honestly this set will do 99% of all tasks you will ever need FOR LIFE.
    If you have small hands or prefer smaller knives, use the same recommendation but for smaller versions of the gyutto/chef knife.
    Spend the rest of your money in an ok 40-70 Diamond stone and a 10aud leather strop. Whetstones are better (IMO) than a diamond stone, but they tend to be more expensive and require more skills to sharpen your knives. For a beginner, a diamond plate is much easier to use, more responsive, cheaper and more likely you will maintain the same angle (because you do less passes).
    All that just to say "don't buy any knife set. Especially not one from Bacaratt"

  • Ryballs on 25/08/2024 - 11:26

    Next time check if knives are good before spending $300 on them
