Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling tea room in the heart of the Cotswolds, needed to refresh its tableware to match a recent refurbishment. Their existing cutlery was a jumble of different styles, which detracted from their carefully presented homemade cakes.
"We were after something that looked smart but could survive dozens of wash cycles a day. The Olympia Clifton dessert knives were perfect. They gleam on the table and feel substantial. Our afternoon tea service now looks so much more cohesive and professional."
Robert Finch – Owner, The Copper Kettle
The simple upgrade resulted in a noticeable improvement in table presentation, contributing to a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning the 'lovely atmosphere and details'.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give your new knives a good wash with warm, soapy water.
- Inspect each knife upon arrival to ensure they're all in perfect condition.
- Dry them thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth to achieve a perfect, spot-free shine.
Keeping It Going
- These knives are dishwasher safe, but for best results, remove and hand-dry them as soon as the cycle finishes.
- Avoid using steel wool or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the polished surface.
- To maintain their lustre, use a stainless steel polishing agent every few weeks.
- Try to prevent prolonged contact with acidic foods (like lemon) before washing to avoid potential staining.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these knives dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, they are. However, to maintain their pristine polished finish and prevent water spots, we highly recommend removing and hand-drying them immediately after the wash cycle.
Q: What does 18/0 stainless steel mean?
A: It refers to the metal's composition: 18% chromium for rust resistance and 0% nickel. This makes the cutlery strong, durable, and magnetic.
Q: Are these knives heavy?
A: They are designed to have a pleasing, balanced weight. At just over 42g per knife (0.51kg for the box of 12), they feel substantial without being cumbersome.
Q: Can I buy matching forks and spoons from the same range?
A: Absolutely. The Olympia Clifton range includes table knives, forks, dessert spoons, and teaspoons so you can create a fully coordinated set.
Q: Is the handle one solid piece?
A: Yes, these are solid-handle knives, meaning they are forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength and durability.
Q: Is the blade serrated?
A: No, as a dessert knife, it has a smooth, blunt edge designed for cutting through soft cakes, pastries, and fruits.
Q: How do I get rid of fingerprints or water marks?
A: A quick wipe with a dry, soft microfibre cloth is usually all that's needed to restore the high-polish shine.
Q: Are these suitable for a hotel restaurant?
A: Yes, their elegant design and robust construction make them an excellent and popular choice for hotels, B&Bs, and busy restaurants.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat '18/0 Stainless Steel' Really Means for Your Cutlery
Ever see '18/0' or '18/10' on cutlery and wonder what it's all about? It's simply a code for the metal's recipe. This Olympia cutlery is made from 18/0 stainless steel, which means it contains 18% chromium and 0% nickel. Think of chromium as the steel's bodyguard; it's fantastic at fighting off rust and corrosion from daily use and washing. The '0' for nickel means it's incredibly strong and holds its shape well. A brilliant side-effect is that it's magnetic, making it compatible with magnetic cutlery saving systems often used to reduce waste. It’s the industry's go-to choice for creating cutlery that's tough, looks great, and offers unbeatable value for any busy catering business.
