Fischer Bargoin French De Luxe Ham Holder with Marble Tray



Wonderful experience with Hidden Treasure Emporium

I cure my own prosciutto-style ham, and have been looking for one of these ham holders for a long time. Recently, I visited Paris’ oldest kitchen supply store, Dehillerin, and saw this model for sale for 210 Euro. I like this style more than the others I’ve seen, so checked the price on Amazon to see if the 210 Euro price was a fair one. I found that Hidden Treasure Emporium had a few left for sale of this exact model for far, far less. I ordered it. It was shipped promptly, arrived in good shape, and will be perfect for what I need. The marble base is heavy, and the stainless steel grips very solid. The wood handles are well-secured to the grips by rivets. Nicely made. Moreover, when I posed a question about pricing to the HTE folks, they responded very quickly to address my question. All told, I paid well less than half of the usual retail for this product.

Masanobu VG-10 Sujihiki 10.5″ (27cm) – Right

Masanobu sujijiki 10.5 Great knife. You get what you pay for with this one. Retains edge for long time. Easy to sharpen. Use only waterstone for best results. My buddy has the same knife and he used an oil stone and gave his steel a nice shine. Excuse my sarcasm. Anyway, if you have the money to spend, I would spend it on this one.

took a chance on these knives I think $100 knives are hype so I took a chance on these more moderately priced knives and I believe it was worth it. They are the most expensive knives I have and now I have two of the utility knives (did give one away though), one of the boning knife, and one of the 15cm kitchen knife. You have to be careful with these knives because once they start cutting they will slide through, so you have to have good control and positioning or will cut yourself. The bad is that the one 17cm utility knife I’m using came with a not so perfect blade though it’s still very sharp. It has like three tiny knicks that are hard to see. The blades are thinner then normal blades but I was hoping the material be harder then this. Another problem is that even after washing/drying the utility knife after every use there is a tiny spot on the blade with a small discoloration in the metal. I wonder if it was used for something it shouldn’t have been used for or maybe the crafting
