- Practical Style: You get the coveted wood-handle aesthetic without the hand-washing headache.
- Noticeable Composite: For connoisseurs, the polypropylene handle won't have the exact weight of real wood.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Forge steakhouse in Hereford needed to replace its collection of mismatched and worn-out steak knives. Their existing real-wood sets were cracking from commercial dishwasher use and required constant, time-consuming hand polishing.
"We wanted to keep our rustic aesthetic but couldn't keep spending time and money on delicate wooden knives. The Olympia HZ972 sets give us the best of both worlds. They look great on the table and go straight in the dishwasher with everything else. The staff are delighted."
Robert Davies – Owner
The switch has cut their post-service cleanup time by 20 minutes a night and completely eliminated the need to replace knives due to handle damage.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before their first use, it's always good practice to give the knives a quick wash or run them through a dishwasher cycle.
- Quickly inspect each knife to ensure it's in perfect condition after shipping.
- Store them in a proper cutlery tray or divider to prevent the blades from scratching each other.
Keeping It Going
- These knives are fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple and efficient.
- To keep the blades looking their best, dry them soon after washing to avoid water spots.
- Avoid using harsh, abrasive scourers on the handles or blades.
- Periodically check that the rivets remain tight and secure for continued safe use.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy a Wood-Effect Handle is a Smarter Choice
You might wonder what the big deal is with a polypropylene (PP) 'wood effect' handle. Think of it like this: it’s the same logic as choosing high-quality laminate flooring over real hardwood for a busy area. You get the warm, classic aesthetic that customers love, but without any of the drawbacks. Real wood handles can swell, crack, and pull away from their rivets after repeated cycles in a hot, steamy commercial dishwasher. They can also absorb moisture, creating a potential hygiene risk. These PP handles, however, are completely non-porous and incredibly tough. They give you that desirable rustic look while being built to withstand the realities of a commercial kitchen, saving you time, money, and hassle in the long run.
Who Should Buy This?
- Steakhouses & Grill Restaurants: The quintessential choice for serving up perfect sirloins, ribeyes, and fillets with reliable, stylish cutlery.
- Gastropubs & Country Inns: A brilliant way to elevate your classic pub grub and Sunday roasts, adding a touch of rustic charm.
- Hotel Restaurants & Bistros: A durable and cost-effective solution for high-turnover dining rooms that need cutlery to be tough and easy to clean.
- Barbecue & Smokehouse Joints: The perfect tool for guests to tackle ribs, brisket, and pulled pork while matching your down-to-earth theme.
