Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia C135 is a real workhorse. It strikes that difficult balance between looking good on the table and being tough enough for the back-of-house. The weight is just right—not flimsy, but not overly heavy either. It's a solid, no-nonsense piece of commercial cutlery that delivers on its promises without a premium price tag.

- Pro: The riveted black handle feels incredibly secure and durable, unlike cheaper alternatives.
- Con: The high-polish steel shows fingerprints, so it needs a quick wipe post-wash.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Forge, a popular steak and ale house in the Cotswolds, needed to refresh its tableware. Their existing cutlery was looking tired and was a mix of different styles accumulated over years of service, which detracted from their carefully crafted customer experience.
"We serve premium, locally sourced steaks, and our cutlery needed to reflect that quality. The Olympia C135 forks look the business, and our customers have even commented on how sturdy they feel. They've been through the dishwasher hundreds of times already and still look brand new. A simple change that has made a big difference."
Robert Finch – Proprietor
The switch resulted in a more cohesive, professional table presentation and eliminated negative feedback about worn-out utensils.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each fork for any signs of damage during transit.
- Before the first use, run the entire set through a full dishwasher cycle or wash by hand with warm, soapy water.
- Ensure they are completely dry before storing or placing them on tables to prevent water spots.
Keeping It Going
- Always rinse forks after use to remove acidic food residues before they can cause stains.
- When dishwashing, use a non-abrasive detergent and avoid overcrowding the cutlery basket to ensure a thorough clean.
- For a pristine finish, dry them with a soft microfibre cloth immediately after washing to remove any water marks.
- Periodically check the handles to ensure they remain secure and undamaged after prolonged use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the forks serrated?
A: Yes, the tines have a subtle serration designed to provide extra grip and help cut through meat without tearing it.
Q: What does 18/0 stainless steel mean?
A: It means the steel is made with 18% chromium for rust resistance and 0% nickel. This makes it very durable, hard-wearing, and ideal for commercial use.
Q: How heavy do they feel?
A: They have a reassuring weight and solid construction, feeling substantial and balanced in the hand without being overly heavy.
Q: Is the entire fork black?
A: No, only the handle is black. The fork head and neck are made from high-polish stainless steel for a classic two-tone look.
Q: Can the handles get damaged in a commercial dishwasher?
A: These forks are designed to be dishwasher proof. The robust black handles are made to withstand high temperatures and commercial detergents.
Q: Will they bend if used on a very tough piece of meat?
A: They are made from a solid gauge of steel and are designed to be rigid and resist bending during normal use in a restaurant setting.
Q: Are these Olympia C135 steak forks magnetic?
A: Yes, as they are made from 18/0 stainless steel, they are magnetic. This is useful for magnetic cutlery saving systems often used in commercial kitchens.
Q: What's the best way to prevent water spots?
A: For the best finish, either use a rinse aid in your dishwasher or hand-dry the forks with a soft, clean cloth as soon as the wash cycle is complete.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy 18/0 Stainless Steel is a Smart Choice
Ever see numbers like 18/0 or 18/10 and wonder what they mean? It's simpler than it sounds. The '18' refers to 18% chromium, which gives the steel its rust-resistant properties. The '0' means it contains 0% nickel. While nickel (found in 18/10 steel) adds extra shine and corrosion resistance, 18/0 steel is tougher, more durable, and more affordable, making it a brilliant choice for high-volume commercial use.
Think of it like this: 18/10 steel is the luxury saloon, while 18/0 is the ultra-reliable work van. It’s specifically engineered for hard graft—it's less likely to bend and can withstand the knocks and scrapes of a busy kitchen. As a bonus, its magnetic properties mean it works perfectly with cutlery-saving magnets on bins, helping to reduce accidental loss.
