Master of Blades recommends avoiding a dishwasher on any good knife. Hand washing in warm water and quick wiping is enough for any stainless knife. Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Hard steel knives (high Rockwell) such as the Japanese and especially if they are sharpened on one side, it is recommended to sharpen exclusively with stone to achieve the best possible sharpening while protecting the blade of the knife to continue to have the highest possible performance.
