I put knives in the dishwasher as I thought it was ok. I read in a few places that it may spoil them. What is your advice?

@pitstop Take it from an older, wise(r) person - you can put knives in the dishwasher. You could even put your cat in the dishwasher but I can give no guarantees as to the result.

Is the knife made of stainless steel?

@pitstop It makes them a bit more resistant to rust that's all.

I wash knives in the dishwasher all of the time. Some of my butter knives do have stains, but we've also had those knives for years and age is a thing, too. Nothing lasts forever. But, no. The knives work just fine. Sure, they do need sharpening from time to time, as all knives do, but still. Just trust in your instincts. No matter what you do, there will always be a counter-argument.

I never heard that, a knife does not rust easily today, so I believe the dishwasher is alright.

They said wash immediately the knife after using then wipe.
