Olympia Saphir

The Olympia Saphir sample set provides a practical way to assess the range before placing a full cutlery order. The set includes three pieces — a table knife, table fork, and dessert spoon — allowing front-of-house managers and buyers to evaluate the weight, balance, and finish in their own setting rather than relying on catalogue images alone.

Saphir is made from 18/10 stainless steel, which gives it a good level of corrosion resistance and helps maintain its high-polish finish through regular commercial dishwasher cycles. The design features softly tapered ends with a clean, contemporary profile that sits comfortably across a range of dining styles, from casual bistro to more formal restaurant settings.

From a practical standpoint, the finish holds up well to the repeated thermal and chemical exposure of high-cycle dishwashing, which is a reasonable baseline test for any cutlery being considered for commercial use. The tapered handle shape is comfortable to hold and unlikely to feel out of place in most table settings.

The sample set is sold as a single pack of three pieces and is intended for evaluation purposes. Full covers are sold in dozens, so quantities scale sensibly once you have confirmed the range is right for your operation. It is worth considering whether the weight and style of the Saphir range suits your service format — heavier, more substantial cutlery ranges are available if your setting calls for them, as are more understated options for higher-volume casual dining.

If you would like to talk through how the Saphir range compares to other cutlery in the catalogue for your specific covers and service style, the team is happy to help you make the right call before you commit to volume.

The Olympia Saphir teaspoon is a mid-weight, mirror-finish teaspoon from Olympia's Saphir cutlery range, produced in 18/10 stainless steel. The pattern features a clean, flowing design that sits comfortably in most formal and informal table settings, and the spoons arrive in a pack of twelve — a practical quantity for restocking or supplementing an existing set.

In day-to-day service, the weight of the Saphir teaspoon gives it a quality feel that holds up well under the handling volumes a busy café, restaurant, or hotel breakfast operation generates. The 18/10 stainless steel construction is resistant to pitting and tarnishing, which matters practically when spoons are cycled through a commercial dishwasher repeatedly across multiple sittings. The mirror finish stays presentable with normal commercial dishwashing and does not require any special treatment to maintain.

The versatility of the size means these spoons work for more than tea and coffee service — they are commonly used alongside desserts, condiments, and breakfast accompaniments such as jam or clotted cream where a compact spoon is the appropriate choice.

• Resistant to pitting and tarnishing through repeated dishwasher cycles
• Consistent weight and finish across the pack — suits formal and informal covers
• Works across multiple service occasions, not limited to hot drinks
• Part of the wider Saphir range, making it straightforward to match additional pieces

These teaspoons are suited to cafés, restaurants, hotels, and any operation running a seated cover service. If your volume is high enough that cutlery loss and breakage is a regular concern, it is worth considering whether buying in larger pack quantities makes sense for your operation. If you are building out a full Saphir place setting or have questions about quantities, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

The Olympia Saphir dessert spoon is part of the Saphir cutlery range, a pattern characterised by softly tapered ends and a high-polish finish. Made from 18/10 stainless steel, these spoons offer a clean, contemporary look that works well in formal restaurant settings, hotel dining rooms, and café environments alike.

18/10 stainless steel is the standard specification for professional cutlery expected to withstand repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without discolouring, pitting, or losing its finish over time. The Saphir pattern is well suited to operations where presentation matters and cutlery is turned over quickly through busy service periods.

• High-polish finish maintains appearance through regular commercial dishwasher use
• 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining in daily service
• Tapered ends give a refined table setting without an overly formal feel
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for topping up existing stock or outfitting new covers

These are dessert spoons, so it is worth confirming the full Saphir range is available if you are looking to build a consistent table setting across multiple cutlery pieces. For higher-volume operations requiring larger pack quantities or a more utilitarian pattern, alternative options in the catalogue may be worth considering.

If you are putting together a full table setting or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Olympia Saphir dessert fork is a mid-weight table fork finished in 18/10 stainless steel with a high-polish surface. The design features softly tapered tine ends that give the piece a distinctive profile without straying into overly styled territory — it sits comfortably alongside both contemporary and more traditional table settings.

In a busy restaurant or hotel environment, cutlery takes considerable punishment — repeated dishwasher cycles, handling by multiple members of staff, and the general wear of continuous service. The 18/10 stainless steel construction holds up well under these conditions, resisting tarnishing and surface corrosion better than lower-grade alloys. The high-polish finish also makes spotting and buffing straightforward during a pre-service setup.

• Dishwasher safe and resistant to repeated commercial wash cycles
• High-polish finish is practical to spot and buff before service
• Consistent weight and balance across the dozen makes for uniform table presentation
• Suitable for dessert and side courses across a range of dining styles

Sold in packs of twelve, the Saphir range is a practical choice for operators looking to build or replenish a consistent cutlery set without committing to a large opening order. It suits smaller restaurants, cafés, and private dining operations particularly well. Busier sites covering multiple covers per service may want to consider whether a larger pack or a heavier-gauge option within the Olympia range better fits their throughput and replacement rate.

The Olympia Saphir table fork is a mid-weight piece from Olympia's Saphir cutlery range, made from 18/10 stainless steel with a high-polish finish. The design features soft, tapered ends that give the range a clean, contemporary look without being overly decorative. Sold in packs of twelve, it is a practical way to stock or supplement a cover count.

18/10 stainless steel is a sound choice for front-of-house cutlery in commercial use. The higher nickel content helps the finish resist corrosion and retain its appearance through regular commercial dishwasher cycles, which matters in environments where cutlery is turned around quickly between services.

From a practical standpoint, the Saphir fork suits operations that want a polished, presentable table setting without moving into premium silverware territory. It handles daily service well and is straightforward to sort and re-lay. Key practical points worth noting:

• 18/10 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and finish longevity
• High-polish finish that presents well on a laid cover
• Dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround between sittings
• Tapered design that stacks and sorts easily during back-of-house prep
• Sold in dozens, making it simple to order to cover count

This fork is well suited to casual dining restaurants, café-bistros, hotel breakfast and dinner covers, and catering operations looking for reliable, presentable cutlery at a sensible price point. It sits in the mid-range of the Olympia catalogue — operations requiring a heavier gauge or a more formal weight and feel may find a higher-specification range more appropriate, while smaller or more budget-focused operations may find lighter alternatives sufficient.

If you are setting up a new cover count or filling in gaps in an existing service, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work out quantities and check pattern availability before you order.

The Olympia Saphir Dessert Knife is a mid-weight piece of table cutlery finished in 18/10 stainless steel with a high-polish surface and softly tapered ends. It sits within Olympia's Saphir range, which is aimed at hospitality operations that want a consistent, contemporary look across their table setting without the cost associated with silver-plated or premium-grade flatware.

In a busy dining environment, cutlery takes a great deal of punishment — repeated washing, stacking, and handling. The 18/10 stainless steel construction gives reasonable resistance to corrosion and staining, and the pieces are confirmed dishwasher safe, which matters in any operation running a commercial glasswasher or rack-type dishwasher at high throughput. The high-polish finish does show water marks if cutlery is not dried or polished promptly after washing, which is worth factoring into your front-of-house workflow.

• Dishwasher safe — suitable for commercial rack and conveyor washers
• 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in regular service
• Polished finish and tapered design suits formal and semi-formal covers
• Sold in packs of 12, making it straightforward to order by cover count

This knife is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, pub restaurants, and event catering operations looking for a reliable, presentable dessert knife at a practical price point. For high-turnover casual dining where cutlery losses and replacement cycles are a primary concern, a simpler pattern at a lower unit cost may be worth considering. Equally, for fine dining where weight and finish are closely scrutinised, a heavier-gauge option from a premium range may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a full Saphir place setting or need help working out quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to assist.

The Olympia Saphir table knife is a mid-weight, high-polish cutlery piece from Olympia's Saphir range, produced in 18/10 stainless steel. The design features softly tapered ends giving the piece a clean, contemporary profile that works across a range of dining environments without looking out of place.

In a busy restaurant or hospitality setting, cutlery takes considerable punishment — repeated dishwasher cycles, stacking, and general service handling. The 18/10 grade stainless steel used here offers good resistance to tarnishing and surface corrosion, and the high-polish finish tends to retain its appearance well over regular use, provided items are handled and stored appropriately.

• 18/10 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• High-polish finish suited to mid-range and smart-casual dining
• Tapered handle design that feels balanced in use
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward daily cleaning
• Sold in packs of 12 — practical for cover-level purchasing

It is worth noting that all cutlery benefits from prompt removal from the dishwasher after the drying cycle and proper storage to avoid prolonged contact with moisture or other metals, which can accelerate surface marking over time.

The Saphir table knife is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and catering operations looking for a reliable everyday table knife at a practical price point. It sits in the mid-range of Olympia's cutlery offering — if you require heavier-gauge cutlery for a more formal dining environment, or a lighter option for a high-turnover casual setting, it is worth discussing your covers and service style before committing to a full set.
