Has anyone here ever seen this problem? My cousing said it might be
related to washing the knives in a dishwasher, but only about a
quarter of the knives seem to be affected.

Classic problem with 2-part knives. We have a bunch of them that are doing
the same. There is a cavity in the handle that builds up steam pressure in
the dry cycle of the dishwasher. Yes, I'm guessing if you heat them and
press the blade back in, it will do the job. These things are so old, I
doubt they used epoxy, more liekly some older form of glue.
