Is this knife okay to use in dishwasher?

Is it OK to spray steam against your car? Is it OK to swallow chewing gum? Is it OK to boil your woodworking tools? Sure, but why would you? Why would you subject a fine utensil to the Hades of the dishwasher? What are you afraid of? The blade is steel and the handle is a composite material. A quick wash in soapy water is all that is required.

It is dishwasher safe but I would make sure nothing else in the disher will bang into it as that could damge the edge.

Yes and No. Yes in that the metal most likely will not rust and the handle most likely will not be adversely affected by the heat and chlorine that is usually in dish waver detergents. No in that thers a good chance that the blade edge will be jostled and dinged and dulled especially if you're not OCD about knife handling and putting things in the dish washer. On balance like others suggest always hand wash and dry your knife and put them away as soon as possible after use,

The dish washer soap turned the handle on mine spotty white, I would not recommend putting it in the dishwasher even though the manufacturer says it's ok to.

It is claimed to be dishwasher safe, but I highly recommend to always hand wash your knife just after using it.

Hi. I'm from Victorinox. It is completely dishwasher safe, but we suggest using the top rack so that it doesn't bang against other cutlery and dull the edge. We always recommend hand-washing and drying your knives, but it made for the dishwasher.

I don't put knives in the dishwasher...I think it helps to dull them. So far they have stayed sharp. I like them and also have the cutlery set.

Yes, you can. I've seen other reviews mention rust or tarnish. Never happened with our knives and they were in the dishwasher many times.

I don't have a dishwasher, but I would assume so. I wouldn't use abrasive scrubs on it however because it will probably scratch off the color on the blade.

I purchased these as a gift so have not personally used them. However, I would never put a good knife in the dishwasher, especially one with a wooden handle.

Donna, I would never put my knives in a dishwasher, but that is just me. They may do well with going through a dishwasher, I can't advise. Sorry. Most things now days have some kind of warranty, you need to check with their service department on current available warranties.

The manual/pamphlet says in bold caps "do not wash any part of the slicer in dishwasher". They don't explain why but a lot of good knives say not to wash in dishwasher either...

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.

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!

No, not at all. I hand wash when I have time but when I don't I put them in the dishwasher. I love my knives!

I have been using this knife at least 2-3 times a week for a few months. It still looks like new. I never put it in the dishwasher, so I can't say if that would have any affect.

Just checked the sleeve mine came in and there is no mention of whether it is dishwasher safe or not.Because it is plastic I would say yes, it is, but on the top shelf with the blade pushed in all the way so it doesn't get dull.I hand wash mine and am very happy to. It cleans up easily.

I would not put a teflon pan in the dishwasher. Ever. Treat it like a good knife.

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.

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 am not sure. We don't wash it in the dishwasher but I don't think it would hurt it at all.

No it can not be used in a dishwasher. Instructions for care said it would warp the wood and the backing would become deteriorate. It's a great board and comes with a cutting mat, that is dishwasher safe.
