Good knives should never be put through a dishwasher, my first ever job was as a butchers boy in a little shop with an old time butcher.

The first thing I was taught was that the most dangerous thing in the shop was a blunt knife, so the last thing I did every evening after cleaning up was to take the knives to the grind stone and put a clean edge on them.


I worked in a butchers shop in my teens and the last job I had to do was scrub off the block with a wire brush and spread sawdust everywhere you must have been in an upmarket shop if you had a grindstone. Very Happy


It was a in a trough of water about 2 foot across and was hand turned, the butcher was very much of the old school. Chickens were brought in undressed and my first job when I arrived was to prepare 10 birds. Christmas was fun because there would be him, his son and me doing a production line of turkeys, geese etc and boning out whole gammons. MY13 HSE Lux Santorini Black

It’s the dishwasher detergent it can pit some knives.


I suppose it depends upon the quality of the material then, when I was in Japan I went to a sword/knife maker in Osaka and watched the process, at the end of the forging and oiling they put all the bare blades in a large industrial dishwasher before fitting the handles.......I was amazed they actually used a Fairy DW capsule, you can see why I wondered where all this “never put them in a dishwasher” came from Laughing

I do kick myself though as I didn’t buy a kitchen knife while there as I was a bit worried about bringing it back on the plane, even in baggage! It was just after 9/11 Crying or Very sad Regards

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......
