How does this hold its appearance being washed regularly in the dishwasher? Also long term does it stay sharp?

I hand wash this knife and have not had to re-sharpen it since I purchased it. It has been at least six months. It is a stainless steel blade and plastic handle so it should hold up in the dishwasher. However, no knife blade does well in the dishwasher generally speaking, banging into things it shouldn't.

Washing knives in a dishwasher will damage them, they should always be carefully hand washed. My knife has not required sharpening since purchase.

I wash by hand. As for sharpness, invest in a knife keener (sharpening steel or ceramic). Victorinox has a video on sharpening knives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUUt1uiWTpc

holds the appearance being washed regularly, and long term the knife does not hold sharpness too well but does sharpen easily. I have a handy 'pull-through' sharpener that puts a very nice edge on the blade.

Dishwasher posed no problems. Stayed sharp 2 or 3 months. Maybe I tried to cut stuff I should not have -- I seem to just grab a knife for "whatever"

Whereas you can wash it in the dishwasher, the life of the extra sharp blade will be preserved by hand washing, same as with any fine knife. If something gets stuck in the blade, a toothbrush works great.

While I haven't run it thru the dishwasher because it is just a single implement and is easier for me to clean in the sink, if I had a bunch of these I wouldn't hesitate to use the dishwasher. I run our wood handled steak knives thru the dishwasher and they have survived for years. Since this knife has much better quality steel and a good solid handle, it probably would outlast my steak knives. Bottom line, it is up to you, but personally I would do it.

I wash it all the time in the dishwasher. It is stainless steel so it is very strong

I've had them for 5 years with daily use and they haven't lost sharpness. I would love to order a new set, but my current one is still as good as new. Just avoid putting them in the dishwasher to prevent rust.

My Mother has had these knives for a couple years, always put them through the dishwasher, and they're just as sharp (or, at least, not noticeably dull) as the day they were first purchased. I have yet to see them rust either. Hope that helps!

I've owned this set for about a year now and it is still in very good shape. The non stick surface is very good. I always wash by hand. The non stuck surface washes very easily. Using the dishwasher will most likely deteriorate the non stick surfaces and cause food to stick. Hope this help!

I cut it into two pieces. I have used the same piece for several months at least 4 times per week and it is still in good condition. Wash it in the sink with a little detergent and it stays clean.

Yes, I've had it for over a year and no fading or damage from the dishwasher

I've used mine for quite awhile and it is still sharp. My other Olfa rotary cutters have stayed sharp for years.

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

I have not washed mine in the dishwasher but it looks as good as when I bought it, it takes a second to wash by hand.

My color has not even begun to chip or scratch. And I've used it everyday for two seasons. But I don't put it in the dishwasher. I hand wash it.

I've been cooking all my life (as the house-hold chef) and would NEVER put a cutting knife, that I valued in the dishwasher. I bought a set of Global Japanese knives 20 years ago and they are as sharp today as when I got them. I sharpen them on a water-stone and use a steel whenever I used them. I do the same for my new Victoronix. The heat, the banging of the sharp blade again other utensils and corrosive nature of dishwashing detergent is what will dull the blade. The polymer handle will survive, but the steel will dull...and I don't mean in a shiny way. Hand wash your knives and store them in a knife holder/wooden block, but never in a drawer. Have fun...stay sharp

I've had mine for several years and its still like new but I do give it proper care always washing it by hand and towel drying immediately after use and never in a dishwasher or left dirty or soaking in a sink. Great knife!

I still have the original package and it does not specifically say dishwasher safe. However the blade is made of stainless steel and the handle is made of durable bakelite. The knife has a lifetime serrated edge. I personally would not put it in the dishwasher because this dulls knives in general. I doubt a serrated edge can be sharpened. I have used it several times and I love it. I use it to cut cheese and it works really well.
