Baccarat iD3 Arashi

Stylish knife set – These knives are excellent for the price. The knife block is stylish and the knives are held magnetically. They feel good and cut well. Of course they need regular sharpening. I put mine in the dishwasher and have had no problems with that. Show details

Blade keeps its sharpness well – Blade keeps its sharpness well, very useful. Had if for a couple of years and would reccomend. It would be better if it had the non-sticking grooves but thats a minor issue.

These knives are great, the poor reviews are clear signs of not using the products correctly – Im an amateur blacksmith and national competition winning home cook whilst i have my own set of blades i often use in the kitchen, i also use these for everyday stuff These knives are great and will serve you well if you maintain them and use them properly if you get them on sale, its a great deal The knives are high carbon steel, not stainless.… Read more

If you dont hand wash the knives after use and dry, they will rust. thats your fault not the knives (please please dont be the moron that puts good knives in the dishwasher or leaves them in the sink)

the ambiguous 'japanese' steel of the knives means they are harder and will chip if you use the knives for chopping on hard surfaces, get a cleaver if you want to chop, knives are made for slicing not slamming the edge into a hard cutting board, alternatively opt for a softer steel such as german or serbian. which will not chip as easily

hone the edge before each use, this will keep it sharp and safe, additionally i sharpen them once a monthish, keeps the edge sharp and i've never had a problem with them

people complaining about rust, chips and having to 'sharpen' the knives need to go back to plastic cutlery or stainless steel knives but for gods sake stop complaining, you are just making youself seem ignorant

it takes very little effort to educate yourself on proper use of different tools and youll see a world of difference

Rusty @ 6 months – Bought 6 months ago, already rusted all over. I've had knives 10 years old and have never rusted. I used bicarb soda to scrub the rust off and it came straight back. Poor quality. Wouldn't waste your money. Show details

Top Knives at Top Price – These knives are high quality and at the price I just bought at, $150 with free deliver, it is outstanding value. People need to understand that high quality knives have to be treated with respect and care. If you use on wood or plastic chopping boards, don’t throw in the sink but clean, dry and put away straight after use they will stay sharp… Read more

for ages and won’t show signs of spotted rust on the high quality Japanese steel.

These knives are light weight, fit well in the hand and nicely balanced. They are sharp and perform the tasks with ease.

Look good but they dont stay sharp like other brands – Have had these knives for over a year now and am disappointed in them. They need to be sharpened each use, while my last knife set only needed to be sharpened roughly every month or so. I will be donating these to the op shop and purchasing victornox or wusthof  Show details

What a fantastic set of knives! – We read the instructions and warnings and were aware that you should not put the Baccarat id-3 knives anywhere near the dishwasher and that they should be washed and cleaned and dried thoroughly after each use. What's not to like about a precision set of knives that keep on performing when handled and treated appropriately.  Show details

Rust Rust Rust – Unless you are willing to wash and dry IMMEDIATELY after use then product would be great. I had used one knife and had put in the dishwasher for use, had rinsed it so it did not have any other residue on it. Once dishwasher was finished and was putting dishes away noticed the knife was covered in rust spots. I sent off pictures to House. Was… Read more

advised that they would rust if put in the dishwasher or left with water on it as it is a high quality steel. That I should also purchase their knife cleaner and try cleaning it with lemon juice.

No where did it state that the product was so

highly sensitive to rust and that it should not go in the dishwasher.

Although the knives are spectacularly sharp and awesome to use. I would prefer something cheaper that won't rust within an hour of it being wet.
