For those who take delight in the culinary arts, a knife is more than just a tool; it's an extension of the chef's hand. At Baccarat, we understand the importance of a well-crafted knife set for all your cooking endeavours. From experienced gourmands to beginners, our diverse selection of knife sets ensures precision, comfort, and superior performance.

What kind of steel are Baccarat knives made from?
We offer Japanese and German steel in our knife collections. Japanese steel is known for its sharpness and edge retention, making it great for precision cutting. German steel is heralded for its strength and reliability, which ensures the knives can withstand heavy use while maintaining their edge.

Are Baccarat knives dishwasher safe?
For the longevity of your knives, we recommend hand washing them with mild detergent and warm water. Although some knives are dishwasher safe, hand washing will better preserve the sharpness and quality of your knives.

How do I maintain the sharpness of my Baccarat knives?
Regular honing with honing steel can maintain the knife's edge between professional sharpenings. For best results, knives should be professionally sharpened when you notice they start to dull. Proper usage and storage will also prolong the sharpness of the blades.

The frequency of sharpening your Baccarat knives depends on how often they're used.

Are the knife handles comfortable for long periods of use?
Absolutely. Each Baccarat knife is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue and improving control during use. This makes our knives not only a pleasure to use but also safer and more efficient.
