Expert Review and Insights
The first impression for a diner often comes from the weight and feel of the cutlery. The Olympia D596 nails this. It strikes a fantastic balance between being robust enough for daily service and elegant enough for a formal dessert course. It's a versatile, workhorse piece that doesn't compromise on style.
Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The knife's weight feels substantial and far more premium than its price suggests.
- Con: The high-polish finish looks stunning but needs a quick polish to remove fingerprints.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Kelpie's Kitchen, a popular seaside bistro in Oban, needed to replace their tired, mismatched side knives. They wanted something that could handle their crusty, locally-baked bread but also look elegant enough for their renowned sticky toffee pudding.
"We were constantly replacing our old knives. They felt cheap and our customers noticed. The Olympia knives have a fantastic weight to them and cut through bread beautifully without tearing it. They just feel right and look the part on the table."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
The switch resulted in a noticeable improvement in table presentation and durability, reducing the need for frequent re-ordering of replacements.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the knives a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any residues from manufacturing and shipping.
- Inspect each piece to ensure it meets your quality standards before putting it into service.
- Store them in a proper cutlery divider or tray to prevent the blades and handles from scratching against each other.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, rinse food off the knives as soon as possible, as some acidic foods can cause pitting over time.
- These knives are fully commercial dishwasher safe. Place them in the cutlery basket blade-down for safety.
- To avoid water spots and maintain the best shine, consider hand-drying with a soft, microfibre cloth.
- The high-polish finish can be easily restored with a gentle polish if it ever starts to look dull.

A: Yes, the handle is solid and weighted to provide a balanced, comfortable, and substantial feel in the hand.

A: The Olympia serrated blade dessert knife is designed for commercial longevity, and the serrations will maintain their cutting effectiveness through extensive professional use.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy '18/10 Stainless Steel' Matters for Your Cutlery
You see '18/10 Stainless Steel' mentioned a lot, but what does it actually mean for a busy kitchen? It's quite simple. The '18' refers to 18% chromium, which is the key ingredient that makes the steel incredibly resistant to rust and corrosion. The '10' refers to 10% nickel, which gives the cutlery its brilliant, silvery shine and adds an extra layer of hardness and durability. Think of it like a coat of armour for your knife; the chromium protects it from food acids and moisture, while the nickel keeps it looking polished and new. This combination means your cutlery will last longer, resist staining, and maintain its premium look even after hundreds of dishwasher cycles.
