Why this table knive earns its place
The Olympia Torino table knife is engineering meets aesthetics. At 222 mm long, it's positioned for serious main course work, and at 1.45 kg per 12-pack, each knife has the heft that signals quality the moment it touches the table. Forged from 18/10 stainless steel and finished to a high polish, it combines the durability demands of professional kitchens with the contemporary design philosophy of the Torino range.
The 18/10 specification matters more in knives than in any other cutlery. A cutting edge must hold under the stress of contact with plates, and the steel must resist the salt, acids and alkaline detergents of daily commercial washing. 18/10 stainless delivers on both fronts: the chromium and nickel composition resists pitting and corrosion whilst maintaining a sharp, resilient edge. Lower-grade stainless will weaken and discolour; 18/10 doesn't.
The subtly waved handle is more than visual signature. It's engineered to fit the hand's natural contours, reducing fatigue during the hundreds of plating and clearing motions a kitchen does during service. This attention to ergonomics sets Torino apart from functional-only cutlery—these are tools that work hard and look the part whilst doing it.
