Can i put these knives through the dishwasher?
Short answer-NO, it is not a good idea to clean your knives in the dishwasher. It may seem surprising but putting your Chef knife through the dishwasher will slowly dull your blade reducing sharpness and durability. It's always best to hand clean your blades with washing up liquid and a cloth.
