What happens if you accidentally put these in the dishwasher?

I always wash it in the dishwasher. I haven't noticed any problems or discoloration.

The only part that is not dishwasher safe is the handle, since it is brushed aluminum, so it would likely rust a bit from the lengthy water exposure. It should not warp or disfigure though.

This info is for anyone else who might read this question. If you wash the aluminum (shiny) handle in the dishwasher it will never be shiny again. So if you bought them to display wash them by hand and use bar keepers friend cleaner to keep them bright. The aluminum handle oxidizes from the dishwasher powder chemicals. It can leave a grey residue on your hands and transfer to the foods you handle with that hand. The oxidization can be removed with bar keepers friend cleaner. The blades are not affected. I have the aluminum handle knives that are 26 years old the handles are ugly from the dishwasher but the blades are fine. I am currently switching to black handles.

Absolutely nothing. I run this through the dishwasher a few times a week and so far no problems.

I wash all mine in the dishwasher. I always have. I don't read instructions I guess. It just appears to dull the finish. I have around twenty different knives this style and wash then routinely in the dish washer.

I don't if they are dishwasher safe. I just hand wash them with warm water and soap.

No. Do not put them in the dishwasher. You lessen the life of any cutlery or metal cookware by putting it in the dishwasher even if it says dishwasher safe.

I haven't tried to put them in the dishwasher... I hand wash and dry them after using them.

I wouldn't put them in the dishwasher because of the rubber ring that assures that they snap tight. I would think that it would harden it. I believe they are too tall for the top rack of most dishwashers, and I wouldn't trust the bottom rack of a dishwasher not to melt them. They are of a great quality plastic, don't get me wrong. I would just wash them in dish soap and water with a soft cloth.

I honestly don't know...don't have a dishwasher. I didn't pay attention to the package before tossing it out. They seem sturdy enough, if you have a top basket, or someplace where the smallest one would stay put, I don't see why they wouldn't be dishwasher safe.

I don't put mine in the dishwasher, so I am not sure. They are really easy to hand wash.

I put mine in the dishwasher, but be warned, if you don't take them out right away, they can get a little rust in them. This looks more like a little discoloration, but that is what the dishwasher can do. This doesn't bother me, and the knives still work great. So I guess it really depends what you are okay with.

If I remember correctly they say it is not advised to put them in the dishwasher. I never have. But they wash up very easily with soap and water

Mine have not so far and I've put them in the dishwasher before. Good question, will keep an eye on mine.

I think putting them in the dishwasher would probably be a bad idea, due to the heat of the water. You might try using a paste of baking soda and water, and scrub them with an old toothbrush. Other than that, soaking in a mild detergent and water overnight could help. I'm afraid bleach would have a bad effect on the plastic, causing deterioration over time. Just my opinion! I haven't tried any of this on this item in particular.

I take them apart and place them over the hooks on the top shelf of dishwasher. And sometimes I wash them out by hand but the dishwasher hasn't done them any harm. Hope this helps.

I wash in the sink and let air dry. I don't think I'd put them in the dishwasher....

On the box it says to wipe them with a damp cloth so I would guess no, maybe call them to be sure before putting them in the dishwasher?

I wouldn't put them in the dishwasher. Just clean with Dawn liquid and possibly add some baking soda or vinegar for freshness. I don't know what the manufacturer says on this.

No, don't be lazy, make the small effort cleaning them by hand. They can rattle around in the dishwasher and be damaged.

If you put them in the dishwasher ,it ruins the inside finish. Any way that's what the instructions said. Hope this is helpful.
