Can this really go in the dishwasher? I've been told the heat degrades a knife's ability to hold an edge.

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 been cooking all my life (as the house-hold chef) and would NEVER put a cutting knife, that I valued in the dishwasher.

Wouldn't heat degrade any kind of knife's ability to hold an edge when put in the dishwasher, if that was the case? I put this knife dishwasher and had no problems. Only had the knife since before Thanksgiving, though. I also have an Accusharp that takes the dull edge off of knives when I don't have time to get them professionally sharpened.

I put it in the dishwasher all the time and have had no problems. I don't remember reading anything on the packaging that said it couldn't go in the dishwasher.

I have been using my knife for a while. I have not seen this with my knife. I do hand wash all my knives. These knives are not expensive. So I dont worry about it to much.

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.

Washing the blade, no (too sharp- it would cut the dishwasher rack or dull itself banging against other items). I also wouldn't put the sliding tray in the dishwasher (sealed dial wouldn't dry, so it could rust hidden metal bits). There is a metal push plate you could wash safely. Other small plastic piece ( separator blade) is too small, so could get lost. So my answer would be mostly no to dish washer.

Knives shouldn't go in the dishwasher. They are liable to rattle around which can damage them. I always hand wash my knives.

We have a few knives that are of a forged style of production and we have no problem putting them in the dishwasher, in that they do not have rust appearing on the base of the blade. It's like there's something in the handle tang or something in the material of the handle that produces rust. We just don't appreciate not being able to clean the Wusthofs in the dishwasher like we can the forged knives. The knives work good, holds an edge thru several uses. Still need to keep the edge up with the steel though. Don't think there's a knife that you don't have to keep up with the edge.

I have put mine through the dishwasher for years & they are still going strong. Best everyday knives I ever owned.

As a rule I try not to put nice pans and knives in dishwasher. The high heat is not great for any delicate items. That said, these pans can go in dishwasher and since they are very durable I can't imagine that it would be problem. According to box I recall it was possible.

Dishwasher safe? Well I believed the instructions said it was but I do not put knives in the dishwasher as it will dull them I include this in that category.

No - you cannot add these knives in dishwasher neither soak them in dishpan or water, it will dull the blade.

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.

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

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 do not have a dishwasher, but I emerge mine in the sink with the other dishes. One thing I do is push down and to expose the blades and go up and down in the water a few times. Then I rinse it, let it dry and put it in its case. I don't see why you couldn't put it in the dishwasher.

Yes, you can put it in the dishwasher. It should clean up easily so if you have other things to put in the washer, do that first . this thing weighs a ton. Cook on lower temp than regular pans so as not to burn. It distributes heat better than non stick.

I never put mine in the dishwasher and it stayed sharp a long time. Then I tried sharpening it with a Henckels knife sharpener. Didn't do a bit of good. So I use a sharpening steel. That is one of those round things with a handle on it. Now I am looking for a professional knife sharpening person at the local farmers market. Using the sharpening steel it is still the best knife in my kitchen.
