It is recommended 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. Soft steel knives need stone grinding more often, but they can also revert to their previous condition temporarily with the use of a sharpener steel.
