how well do these magnets hold up to corrosion, i.e. rust? will they last through a dish washer cycle?

The magnets I purchased have held up very well to corrosion. I have not put them in my dish washer, not even by mistake and would not recommend it. in my opinion they can be very fragile when they accidently snapped together (they can break apart) and also leave a nasty little blood blister. -;) .But I highly recommend them for there great magnetic strength.

I haven't had any issues with rust and I've had my set for over 8 yrs. I do try to wash the knives right away and not let them sit in the sink for an extended period though.

No rust but I don't use the dish washer to clean them.. Sorely disappointed in these knives. My TV knives that I threw out were better and they were only 19.95 for a gazillion of them.

In normal use in a home, they do not rust. Like any steel, stainless included, they will rust if exposed to corrosive chemicals over a long period of time

I used them around 9 months ago and they don't show any sign of corrosion, I don't think that is going to happen any time soon. The best of them is they have a self drilling tip and a square head, so your power screwdriver do not slip, also you can place the screw on the tip of your screwdriver and it will hold it, and you do the job very fast, their design is the best. I have tried similar designs. They are relatively thin, just check how much load they will bear.

I have been putting mine in the dishwasher for months, they get scratched a little from contact with other flatware, but have not rusted at all.

I haven't had a rust problem, but I don't put it in the dishwasher either. I wash and dry by hand (no biggie) and they continue to look new. I had one knife in the dishwasher by accident, and although I have a high-efficiency unit with spot rinse, it came out spotty. I love these knives and would buy them again.

These are "best you can buy" quality and I've not had any problem with them rusting. With normal care of washing, drying, and storing in the provided block, you should have any trouble with rusting or discoloring.

Yes they do. The SS is non magnetic, but a magnet is strongly attracted to the rolled edge, si it must have a steel bar in there. I don't get mine wet in my use, so no rust.

We have two sets. Yes, they go in the dishwasher, and we've had no rusting in the several months we've been using them. I like the oval shape, by the way.

They're made of die-cast aluminum so they won't rust. Source: Hy-ko catalog online.

The springs will rust whether in the dishwasher or washed by hand. If dried thoroughly, there is no problem. My first pair lasted30 years.

In all the time I have used these, I have only noticed a rust spot on the blade of one of the knives and that was totally my fault for leaving it in dishwater (that had bleach in it) for 2 days. They stand up well to the dishwasher also. I love the weight of them, and, while they show a little wear because I use them constantly, they are as shiny as the day they arrived. And the price on Amazon is a real steal for this brand . Hope this helps. I would buy these again and they would make a great gift.

I purchased these as a gift for Christmas. I have not been made aware of any rusting. May I suggest to not run them through the dishwasher and after washing, dry them, if the water does not sit on them, they should not have time to rust.

I put mine in the dishwasher all the time and they do not rust. I hope this helps answer your question.

I have had the silverware for about 3 months now and I have no issues with rusting. I love the set!

It is just over a year old. I use it for milking my cow. There is no rust on it. As far as magnetic, most of my refrigerator magnets will not stick. I have a very strong magnet which slightly clings but falls off when you let go. I am very happy with it.
