FAQs
What does 18/0 stainless steel mean?
18/0 steel refers to the composition of 18% chromium and 0% nickel. It is durable and magnetic, though it requires more diligent drying than 18/10 steel to remain rust-free.
Can I leave these to air dry in a rack?
No. Leaving 18/0 cutlery to air dry is strongly discouraged as it will lead to spotting and potential surface corrosion.
How long is each knife?
Each knife in the Clifton collection measures exactly 200mm in length.
Are these dishwasher safe?
They are dishwasher compatible, provided that they are removed and hand-dried immediately after the cycle concludes.
How many knives come in a pack?
Each unit includes 12 individual dessert knives.
Can I use these for main courses?
While technically usable, these are specifically designed as dessert knives. Their length and edge profile are optimized for smaller portions and lighter textures.
Troubleshooting
Water spots appearing on the finish
This is common with 18/0 steel. Ensure you are hand-drying the knives immediately after the dishwasher cycle ends.
Finish looks dull after several washes
Use a specialized stainless steel polishing cloth to restore the lustre, and avoid using abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Olympia Clifton cutlery, proper care is essential. While the material is dishwasher safe, it is not resistant to the corrosive nature of stagnant moisture.
- Initial Cleaning: Wash the knives in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue before first use.
- Dishwasher Use: You may place them in a dishwasher, but you must monitor the cycle.
- Crucial Maintenance: Immediately upon the completion of the wash cycle, remove the knives and dry them thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use the air-dry setting on your dishwasher, as residual steam and standing water are the primary causes of surface damage on 18/0 stainless steel.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing.
