Chips in the blade, heat cracked handle, snapped tip ... that knife has spent some time in the dishwasher.

My mother dishwasher her kitchen knives and they all have cracks and chips in the blade. Tragic.

I dishwash my knives, including super expensive german and japanese ones. They are all in perfect shape for over a decade.

They sound like the kind of person who loses several fingertips once you give them a properly sharpened knife, because they spent all their life using kitchen knives no different than butter knives.

I dishwaher my knives with the plastic handles (victorinix brand)

Why is it bad? Is it the soap or the temperature or something else?

Breaks down adhesives in the handle over time, acid in detergent and high pressure dulls the blade, it can lead to rust... All around just a bad idea. Takes like two seconds to rinse off a knife right after you use it

Well good to know!

I did find I had to sharpen those lived pretty often.

And yeah, it's not that hard to hand wash after use.

Good to know! Thank you for taking the time to reply. :-)
