Full details
The Olympia Kelso Dessert Knife is a durable and practical cutlery solution designed for high-volume environments such as schools, canteens, and busy restaurants. Crafted from 18/0 stainless steel with a high-polish finish, it offers a reliable, classic design that stands up to heavy daily use. While its magnetic properties make it ideal for cutlery management systems, users should note that the steel requires careful manual drying after wash cycles to maintain its polished appearance.

FAQs
What is the length of the Olympia Kelso Dessert Knife?
Each knife measures 210mm in length.
Is this knife dishwasher safe?
Yes, it is suitable for commercial dishwashers, but you must hand-dry the knives immediately after the cycle to maintain the finish.
Can I use this knife with a magnetic cutlery saver?
Yes, the 18/0 stainless steel construction provides the necessary magnetic properties to work with standard magnetic cutlery saver systems.
What does the 18/0 grade mean?
18/0 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 0% nickel, which makes it durable, magnetic, and a cost-effective choice for high-volume catering.
How should I store these knives to prevent damage?
Store them in a dry area. If using a high-volume setup, utilize a magnetic rack or designated cutlery basket to minimize scratches from other utensils.
Troubleshooting
Water spotting on the blade after washing
This is likely caused by air drying. Ensure the knives are hand-dried immediately after the dishwasher cycle is complete.
Knives are not being caught by the magnetic saver
Verify that the magnetic saver system is fully functional and not obstructed by debris; ensure no magnetic interference is present nearby.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using the knives for the first time, it is recommended to wash them in a commercial dishwasher to remove any residue from the manufacturing process. To ensure the long-term longevity of the high-polish finish, avoid the use of harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Most importantly, do not rely on air drying after a dishwasher cycle. Water spots and potential corrosion can form if the stainless steel remains damp. For best results, remove the cutlery promptly after the cycle ends and dry each piece by hand using a soft, lint-free cloth.
