Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Forge Steakhouse in Hereford needed to replace its collection of mismatched, worn-out steak knives. They wanted a uniform, professional look but were concerned about the ongoing cost of replacing delicate wooden-handled knives that were failing in their commercial dishwasher.
"We were constantly throwing knives away. The handles would crack or the blades would come loose. The Olympia CS716 knives feel solid, the rounded blade looks modern, and our kitchen team loves that they can go straight through the washer without a second thought."
Robert Mills – General Manager
After switching, the steakhouse completely eliminated mid-year cutlery replacement orders, saving an estimated 50% on their annual cutlery budget.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, it's always a good idea to wash the knives to remove any dust or residue from packaging.
- Store them in a proper cutlery divider or tray to prevent the serrated blades from scratching other items.
- Ensure they are completely dry before storing to maintain their best finish.
Keeping It Going
- While fully dishwasher safe, removing and drying the knives promptly after a wash cycle will prevent water spots.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh detergents, which can dull the handles and blades over time.
- Regularly check that the rivets are secure; they are designed for durability but it's good practice in a commercial setting.
- Encourage staff to use the knives only for their intended purpose on plates to keep the serrated edge in top condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these knives sharp enough for a very well-done steak?
A: Absolutely. The serrated blade is specifically designed to grip and cut through all types of cooked meat with ease, regardless of how it's cooked.
Q: What does '18/0 stainless steel' mean for durability?
A: It means the steel contains 18% chromium for hardness and stain resistance. It's a very durable composition designed for the demands of a commercial environment.
Q: Will the black handles fade or scratch easily?
A: The ABS handles are extremely tough and colour-stable. While any item can scratch with heavy misuse, they are designed to withstand daily knocks and commercial dishwashing cycles.
Q: Is the rounded tip a safety feature?
A: Yes, the rounded end helps to reduce the risk of accidental pokes, making it a slightly safer and more modern option compared to pointed-tip knives.
Q: How are the blades secured to the handles?
A: They are firmly attached with metal rivets, which creates a strong, lasting bond that prevents the blade from loosening over time.
Q: How many tables can one pack of 12 knives cover?
A: One pack is typically enough to set three tables of four, making it a cost-effective way to stock up.
Q: Do these knives feel flimsy?
A: Not at all. They are designed to have a reassuring weight and balance that feels both comfortable and high-quality in the hand.
Q: Can these knives rust?
A: 18/0 stainless steel is highly resistant to rust. To keep them in pristine condition, simply ensure they are dried properly after washing.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy an 18/0 Stainless Steel Blade Makes a Difference
Ever see '18/0' on cutlery and wonder what it means? It's actually a simple code for the metal's recipe: 18% chromium and 0% nickel. The chromium is the hero here, giving the steel its excellent hardness and resistance to stains and corrosion. The absence of nickel makes these knives a fantastic value proposition. Think of it like a trusty Ford Transit van versus a luxury saloon; it's built for reliability and to get the job done, day in, day out, without a fuss. This composition also makes the steel magnetic, a handy bonus if your kitchen uses a magnetic cutlery saving system on its bins. It's the perfect, practical choice for bustling businesses that need cutlery to be tough, not temperamental.
Who Should Buy This?
- Steakhouses & Grill Bars: The ideal partner for your signature dishes, offering a clean cut and classic look.
- Busy Pubs & Bistros: A brilliantly durable and affordable choice for high-volume service that still needs to look smart.
- Hotel Restaurants: A practical and stylish addition to your in-house dining room cutlery collection that's easy to maintain.
- American-Style Diners: Perfectly complements the classic diner aesthetic while being tough enough for daily burger and steak service.
