Olympia Jumbo Steak Knives with Wood Effect Handles (12 Pack)
£12.48(£14.98 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
These Olympia jumbo steak knives are a practical choice for restaurants, steakhouses, and pub dining rooms that serve grilled or roasted meat as a regular part of their menu. Larger and wider than a standard steak knife, they are designed to give diners the leverage and cutting edge needed for tougher, thicker cuts without requiring excessive effort at the table.
The serrated stainless steel blades hold a working edge well under repeated daily use and are paired with polypropylene handles finished in a wood-effect pattern. The result is a classic steakhouse aesthetic without the maintenance burden that comes with genuine timber handles. Riveted construction keeps the handle secure under the repeated thermal cycling of a busy dishwasher programme.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are straightforward:
- Fully dishwasher safe — no hand-washing or oiling required between services
- Polypropylene handles resist warping, cracking, and staining over time
- Sold in a pack of 12, suited to managing cover counts without overstocking
- Consistent presentation across the table, important for higher-end casual dining
- Robust enough for back-to-back services without visible deterioration
There is little to complicate the purchasing decision here — no installation requirements, no power supply, no ventilation considerations. The main practical question is whether the pack size aligns with your cover count and how frequently you run cutlery through the wash. For high-volume operations turning tables quickly, having sufficient stock to keep knives in rotation without relying on a single wash cycle mid-service is worth thinking through.
These knives are well suited to steakhouses, casual dining restaurants, and pub kitchens serving grilled meat dishes. If you serve a particularly high volume of covers or want a heavier, more premium feel at the table, it is worth discussing the wider Olympia cutlery range with the team before ordering.
If you are unsure how many packs suit your service or whether this style fits your table setting, we are happy to help you work it out.
Frequently asked questions
How many packs do I need for my cover count?
A useful starting point is to hold at least one and a half times your seated cover count in steak knives, so you have enough in rotation while a batch is being washed. For a 40-cover restaurant running back-to-back services, four packs of 12 is a reasonable minimum, though your actual wash cycle timing and table-turn rate will affect this.
Are these knives genuinely suitable for a commercial dishwasher?
Yes — the polypropylene handles are the key reason these hold up in a commercial dishwasher where traditional wooden-handled knives typically fail. Timber handles absorb moisture over time and crack or loosen at the rivet points, whereas polypropylene is dimensionally stable under heat and water. The stainless steel blades are also resistant to the harsh detergents used in commercial machines.
Are these appropriate for a formal or fine dining setting?
These knives are best suited to casual dining, steakhouses, and pub kitchens rather than fine dining. The wood-effect polypropylene handle gives a rustic, American steakhouse feel, which works well in that context but may not align with the table presentation expected in a more formal restaurant. If you are setting a smarter table, it is worth reviewing the broader Olympia cutlery range to find a finish that suits your style.
