Are these knives dishwasher safe?

Never place cutlery in a dishwasher or it will be ruined from spotting, rust and dullness. Always hand wash and towel dry and cutlery will last indefinitely.

I have had these knives for two years and have had no problems with them rusting or corroding when washed in the dishwasher. I also got a set for my daughter and she has not had a problem either.

A dishwasher's heat-dry cycle gets hot enough internally to ruin the temper on most, if not all, knives.

Alright, the misinformation above notwithstanding, it is not recommended to dishwash sharp knives. They can easily cut you when pulling out the silverware, the edges get dulled from vibrating against other silverware/dishes, and the chemicals in the soap can stain them. The misinformation - There is no loss of temper in the dishwasher. Stainless steel is typically annealed at 1900 F and has a "sensitization" range between 800 and 1500 F where the chromium (the element that makes it stainless) combines with the carbon and leaving the metal more likely to "stain." My dishwasher is no way capable in any form of reaching these temperatures! The edges are lost to rust. Unless you have a carbon steel knife, this is unlikely as most knives are made out of stainless steel that does not rust.

That's kind of like asking, "Is a Ferrari carwash safe?" Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should do it.

I washed them a in the dishwasher for a while, but began handwashing them because they were getting bad water spots on them. It looked almost like the soap had clung to the knives. Could just be my dishwasher, but these knives are very simple to hand clean. I believe the manufacturer recommends handwashing as well, but I know that they can be washed in the dishwasher. Hope that helps.

No. You should never put knives of any sort of good quality through a dishwasher. They should be hand washed and dried immediately after washing.

No. We have always washed ours in the dishwasher and they come out looking as new as the first day we got them. Remember, these are really luncheon knives - smaller and lighter than dinner knives.

It is recommended that you wash them by hand--all good knives need to be washed by hand rather than the dishwasher to help keep them sharp.

Don't know about the dishwasher(don't use one), but they are great steak knives that stay sharp

I wouldn't put any knife in the dishwasher. Great knives by the way, I gave them in two houses,

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. Have put them in the dishwasher for weeks and all fine. I believe I read that somewhere before I purchased them.

They are not made cheap, but I hand wash all my knives. Just my knives though

Actually the care suggests not to put them in the dishwasher. I believe the prolonged heat may be hard on such thin ceramic. However, I've put mine in the dishwasher occasionally when I was in a hurry, but only put them on a 'delicate' or 'light' wash cycle and they were fine. I think a regular prolonged exposure to heat my cause damage to the blade.

I can't really say since I don't own a dishwasher. There was mixed reviews on Amazon. It's a really nice knife set. My GF loves em. It's a great price for a great set of knives

I decided this time to hand wash dry and put away in the block. So I cannot tell if they are dishwasher safe..will not even risk it..great knives for fraction of the price of wusthof henckels etc...

The short answer is yes, you can wash them in a dishwasher. However, I wouldn't recommend it for any knives that you want to stay sharp. Dish washing detergent is really abrasive and dulls knives really fast. I've read other reviews where they have also seen brown rust-like spots show up on them after washing them in the dishwasher. I've always hand-washed and dried mine and have had no problems.

As far as I can tell they are dishwasher safe. I would leave the handle off though.

Yes. We put them in the dishwasher. Careful to keep them from touching other silverware.

The knives are at our vacation home so they are not used daily. But I don't put my knives in the dishwasher but wash and dry them by hand, so I don't really know if they will rust.

Yes. These are terrific knives. I bought a second set, I was so pleased with the first set. They are sharp, and remain sharp, so be careful. No problem in the dishwasher. They come out clean and fine.

No, not at all. I hand wash when I have time but when I don't I put them in the dishwasher. I love my knives!

I have had these knives for several years and they do occasionally go into the dishwasher with NO problems. However, you should not make a practice of putting any knife in the dishwasher, but wash your knives by hand. It's easier on the blades and better for them.
