Is Chef's Knife dishwasher safe?
Not dishwasher safe✓ Verified
No — the dishwasher dulls and chips the edge and can damage the handle.
Why
Knives knock against other items in the rack, chipping the cutting edge, and the harsh detergent plus heat can corrode the steel and crack or loosen wooden and composite handles. It's also a cut hazard when unloading.
How to wash it
Hand wash immediately after use with warm soapy water and a sponge, wiping from the spine toward the edge. Dry right away and store in a block or on a magnetic strip.
