Expert Review and  Insights

The Olympia U876 is a real workhorse. It doesn't try to be flashy; it succeeds by being effortlessly classic and  incredibly resilient. In a commercial setting, you need cutlery that can take a beating from the dishwasher and  still gleam on the table. This knife does exactly that, with a comfortable weight that feels more premium than its price point suggests.

  • The Look and  Feel: Has a timeless design and  polish that elevates a table setting instantly.
  • Fingerprint Prone: The high-polish finish looks fantastic but will show fingerprints without regular polishing.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a popular tearoom in the heart of York, decided to refresh their entire tableware collection during a recent refurbishment. They needed cutlery that matched their traditional-yet-modern aesthetic and  could withstand a relentless cycle of use and  washing, seven days a week.

"We were tired of our old cutlery looking scratched and  dull. We switched to the Olympia U876 range for all our knives and  forks. The difference was immediate. They have a lovely weight, a fantastic shine, and  our staff spend less time polishing. Customers have even commented on how nice they are."

Robert Davies – Proprietor, The Copper Kettle

After three months of use, the tearoom reported a noticeable improvement in table presentation and  a 100% reduction in cutlery replacements due to staining or damage.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, unpack and  inspect each knife for any transit damage.
  • Before first use, run the knives through a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher.
  • Ensure your dishwasher rinse aid is topped up to prevent water spots and  streaking.

Keeping It Going

  • To maintain the high-polish finish, dry cutlery promptly after washing.
  • Use a soft, microfibre cloth to buff out any fingerprints before placing on tables.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh bleach, as this can damage the surface.
  • Store in cutlery trays or polishers to prevent scratching between services.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Restaurant Cutlery

Not sure what to look for? Choosing the right cutlery is a key detail for any food business. Here’s a quick guide to help you make the best choice.

Material Matters: 18/0 vs 18/10

18/0 is a good budget option, but 18/10 (like this knife) contains nickel, making it far more resistant to rust and  keeping its shine for longer. For busy commercial use, 18/10 is the professional standard.

Weight & Balance

Good cutlery should feel balanced in the hand. A heavier weight often feels more premium to customers, but it shouldn't be so heavy that it's clumsy. This dessert knife offers a great middle ground.

Design & Aesthetics

Does the cutlery match your brand? A classic teardrop handle, like on the Olympia U876, is a versatile choice that suits most traditional and  modern table settings, from casual to fine dining.

Think About Durability

Look for solid, one-piece construction. This avoids weak points where handles can bend or break. Your cutlery will go through thousands of wash cycles, so it needs to be tough.

Quantity and  Spares

Always order more than you think you need. A good rule of thumb is to have 2.5 times the amount of your maximum covers to ensure you never run short during a busy service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these knives fully dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, they are designed for commercial dishwashing. For best results, dry them promptly to maintain their high-polish shine and  prevent water spots.

Q: What is the main difference between 18/0 and  18/10 stainless steel?

A: 18/10 stainless steel contains 10% nickel, which provides superior rust resistance and  a brighter shine compared to 18/0 (nickel-free) steel. It's the preferred choice for longevity in a commercial environment.

Q: Do these knives bend easily?

A: No, the 18/10 stainless steel construction makes them very strong and  resistant to bending during normal use.

Q: Are the handles solid or hollow?

A: These knives feature a solid, one-piece construction, which ensures they are durable and  well-balanced.

Q: Does the high-polish finish scratch easily?

A: While any cutlery can scratch over time, 18/10 steel is very durable. To minimise scratching, avoid abrasive cleaners and  store them in cutlery holders rather than loose in a drawer.

A: This product, SKU U876, is sold in a box of 12 to provide the best value for commercial establishments.

Q: Is this part of a larger cutlery collection?

A: Yes, Olympia offers a full range of matching tableware, including forks and  spoons, allowing you to create a consistent look across your tables.

Q: What is the best way to remove fingerprints?

What Does 18/10 Stainless Steel Mean for Your Business?

You see '18/10 Stainless Steel' mentioned a lot, but what does it actually mean? Think of it as a recipe for toughness and  shine. The '18' stands for 18% chromium, which is the key ingredient that fights off rust and  corrosion—essential when your cutlery is constantly being washed. The '10' refers to 10% nickel. This is the magic element that gives the steel its brilliant, silvery lustre and  adds an extra layer of hardness and  durability. So, when you choose 18/10 cutlery, you're essentially getting built-in armour against rust and  a long-lasting shine that cheap alternatives just can't match.
