Like all other knives, use of the dishwasher is not recommended. We recommend that you simply clean your quality knife with a lukewarm, mild soap solution and dry it thoroughly. This way you will enjoy your knife for the longest time. The dishwasher exposes the steel to different temperatures, acids and other corrosive substances. In addition, there is a chance that the blade will become damaged if it hits plates, pans and other hard objects.
