FAQs
Can these knives be put in the dishwasher?
No. The wooden handles are not dishwasher safe and will degrade, crack, or discolor if exposed to high heat and water cycles.
Are the blades serrated or straight?
These Olympia steak knives feature a serrated edge, which is ideal for cutting through textured meat without needing frequent honing.
What does 18/0 stainless steel mean?
It refers to the composition of the steel (18% chromium, 0% nickel), which provides excellent durability and resistance to rust for everyday table cutlery.
How long are these knives?
Each knife measures 215mm in total length, providing a standard size suitable for most professional place settings.
Do I need to sharpen these knives regularly?
Due to the serrated edge, they stay sharp for a long time. They do not require the frequent honing that straight-edge chef knives do.
Troubleshooting
Handle appears dry or dull after repeated use
Apply a food-grade mineral oil to the wooden handle to nourish the wood and restore its luster.
Brass rivets feel slightly loose
Ensure the knives are not being soaked in water, as moisture causes the wood to expand and contract, which can stress the rivets.
Blade showing signs of surface discoloration
Use a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water to gently buff out surface spots and restore the polish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these knives arrive pre-sharpened, they are ready for immediate use upon unboxing. To ensure the longevity of the wooden handles, it is essential to avoid abrasive cleaning agents and prolonged exposure to water. Always hand-wash these knives using a mild detergent and dry them immediately with a soft cloth to prevent the wood from swelling or cracking. Never place them in a mechanical dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh chemicals will damage the wooden scales and potentially loosen the brass rivets over time. Store them in a dry drawer or a dedicated knife block to keep the serrated edges protected from contact with other metal cutlery.
