Factual and objective... no not aggressive
Just saying it as it is... Stainless steel knife block set I purchased extremely disappointing... rusted
Place of purchase now closed down... this should have been sorted on first email... too late now
going into the bin... Smith + Nobel set

After a couple of uses rust marks appear I have looked after them how do I remove the rust they were a retirement gift from my co workers would love to remove rust

Really disappointed that rust spots developed after one use. For the price these should last longer and be better quality.

I like these knives. I am an amateur in the kitchen but just wanted some decent knives that are easy to maintain.

I previously had a cheap set and didn't take care of them to lazy to sharpen them on the steel so I like these because they have an inbuilt sharpener.

They cut very well. My friend who is a chef has told me they are good quality. I also like they have matching steak knives.

If you want a pair of good priced, decent knives that are easy to maintain, these are great!

You must read the instructions first, I know what you're thinking - instructions for knives, but yes.
Beautiful sharp knives easy handles and feel nice to slice and chop. Slices though meat just like butter.
Best knives I've ever bought

Ok knife set, but then again I am coming from a ten to fifteen dollar knife set from k-mart. Just really wished I knew how to use the honing steel.

I bought these for myself just recently and they are fantastic!! Easy to use, easy to clean and store away nicely. I haven't had any issues with them. They are nice and light to use too.

These knives are not worth the money. I have knives that i had to have for catering college more than 30 years ago and they look awful but are still in very good working condition. I thought that i would buy new knives simply because mine look so dreadful, i bought baccarat and wish that i had not. I rarely use them and have to constantly sharpen them. In fact i bought ceramic knives from K Mart around three months ago that cost $5 each and they work amazingly well.My advice, K Mart, ceramic knives, $5 each, can't go wrong.

I contacted Baccarat Feb 20th, 2018 regarding issues with 3 knives. They replied they would send replacements. Seemed promising.
Despite another email and a phone call from me to their Customer Service Representative, it's now 4th May 2018..... I am still waiting.......

I purchased my Baccarat Sabre Knife block 14 piece set in January 2018 and thrilled with the knives. However not happy about the scissors included which I used to cut an oven bag and the scissors broke in half. So now I have a beautiful knife block set with a hole in the middle where the scissors should be

I have been waiting for Baccarat knives for a very long time, and when I saw them at 75% off, I thought - why not?? And I'm so very pleased that I did. They are absolutely fantastic knives. I did my research first so I knew which ones I wanted to buy. I will never look back now. I absolutely adore them!!

We were gifted this from family when we got engaged but had heard that Baccarat was a great brand so we were really excited. We used the set for about a year and all of the handles started to crack, some bits fell off. Robin's Kitchen replaced them and said it was likely from putting them in the dishwasher so a hen we got our new set home, we decided we wouldn't put them in the dishwasher to avoid damaging them. Not once have they gone in the dishwasher but, once again, the handles have cracked - they've been that way a few years now. Other than that, we do like the knives and we use them all the time.

When I first use it, it was great, because the design for the knife holder is pretty handful, but then I found out that the knife is not sharp at all

The Chef knife snapped the tip when cutting pumpkin. Must of had a fault in the metal. I have used it on pumpkin plenty of times. Its a shame because i use it all the time and had to buy another one.

Like most reviewers we bought these knives expecting them to be a good quality product. DON'T! As most say they do lose their sharpness very quickly, as in we sharpen them almost every other time we have to use one and they get rust spots all the time (I only hand wash them). Don't waste your money...

Knives rusting first week.Brought for the steak knives.Not worth $129.Was trying to buy quality but maybe should have gone to Kmart.If i could find my docket.Would ask for Refund not a replacement Set

I bought these knives about 8 years ago. They're blunt so i sharpen them. They don't get sharp again and yes i use the recommended sharpeners. I went to get warranty and getting the runaround. Never again

Good quality knives that look great. Very useful and smart. I use the baccarat cuisine pro knife sharpener rather than the supplied sharpener so I don't have to think about the right angle for sharpening. All the knives work well. If you want a selection of good knives that look great, I reccomend this block.
