Truth or wives tale??????

Are they stainless steel? If so, no matter what
you do to them you won't hurt them. You also may
never get them very sharp. If you have high
carbon steel, it is better to hand wash and wipe
dry after every use. If the handles are real
wood, you hand wash.

A dishwasher is not going to make the knives
appreciably less sharp (unless the knives are
banging around hitting stuff in the washer..
