are they dishwasher safe? Do they come with a sharpener?

"Hand wash only" as per the care instructions that came with my set and there is a honing rod included and it does state that in the description too.

These knives do not come with a sharpener. We recommend that these knives be handwashed and dried only.

They come with a "honing rod" and most reviews of Ginsu knives (all of them) rust if washed in the dishwasher. I bought this set for my daughter and although it doesn't come with the exact colors it shows, appears to be a great set.

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. I washed my dishes in the dishwasher and they came out perfectly fine...Love them...

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.

Hello, I didn't try putting them in the dishwasher, however I did wash them out by hand and they are good as new!

Yes they probably will although I've never put any cutlery in a dishwasher. Mine are still like new but you should pass on them to prevent any possible rust issues.

Yes. It is a good habit to sharpen after each wash. But, i dont always do that and they are still super sharp.

I tried it once and they came out spotty, even though I have a high efficiency dishwasher with spot rinse. I polished out the spot and now wash and dry them by hand. They are worth it though. They look better hand-washed. They are great knives, sharp, plus look great on counter top. It's not a big deal to hand wash them. I'd buy them again or give as a gift. Good luck.

I do not put them in the dishwasher . Heat dulls knives and would also has to affect the handle parts.

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

Don't buy these knives if you would put them in the dishwasher, even if they are "dishwasher safe" (which they are not). Clean them and put them away right after use - it takes less than a minute.

I use warm water and soap. But sometimes I just skip the soap. I clean it after every two or three sharpenings. But I like the dishwasher idea. I will try that...

Yes. I have had this set for about a year and they haven't needed to be sharpened. However, I've had one of the pink chef's knives for several years and it takes sharpening well.

Yes they do need sharpening but they are easy to re-sharpen. It's a good blade that doesn't rust easily.

Reading on their website I found that they are dishwasher safe. I had to look into it for you because I'm old fashioned and done put my knives in the dishwasher. I had a food instructor tell me at one point it was not good to put any knife in the dishwasher because it makes them dull faster and messes up the handle. My husband had put them in the dishwasher a few times tho and they seem to be fine. I hope that this helped and whatever you choose to do with them I know that you will love them.

I have been putting them in the dishwasher, I use "Finish" for preventing spots and water marks. While the handles are plastic, and not high end, the blades are sharp and work better than more expensive knives I've had in the past.

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.
