Seems you've gotten lots of answers already...and they are correct. I will say that they are a very easy knife to hold and that they have a good weight to them. I'm extremely pleased with mine. I do hand wash them and dry them right away. They seemed to water spot if left to dry on their own.

I bought these for a gift so haven't used them myself - and surprisingly they didn't come with washing instructions - but I would wash them with dish soap and towel dry. I wouldn't put them in the dishwasher just to be safe. The box says they're lacquered to resist tarnishing.

They recommend a Clorox powder type cleanser. I have used it once since I own them. My wife got the stuff mixed with bleach and it makes my hands stink like bleach so I don't like using it. Anyhow. I typically use water and just wash them and you can see the metal wash away. Frequency? Well not very often. I guess this would depend on the amount of sharpening. When you see them turning from white to gray maybe its time, if the grey becomes black its definitely time.

I don't know. I gave them as a gift. I have another brand that I use daily and haven't had to sharpen them yet.

I hand wash mine. After using the dishwasher a few times on a couple of the knives, there were rust spots that I had to get off. The spots came off, but I'd rather not have to worry about that at all.

I wash all mine in the dishwasher. I always have. I don't read instructions I guess. It just appears to dull the finish. I have around twenty different knives this style and wash then routinely in the dish washer.

I haven't put them in the dishwasher, as I know that makes the blades dull faster. But they are fully metal, so I don't see why you couldn't.

No. We have always washed ours in the dishwasher and they come out looking as new as the first day we got them. Remember, these are really luncheon knives - smaller and lighter than dinner knives.

It is recommended that you wash them by hand--all good knives need to be washed by hand rather than the dishwasher to help keep them sharp.

You need to wash knifes by hand and with a soft cloth dry them by hand. They will stay clean and shine like new. They are so sharp it's good to clean them the minute you are done using them, children could really be hurt by just leaving them around.

I do not put them in the dishwasher . Heat dulls knives and would also has to affect the handle parts.

I put mine in the dishwasher, but be warned, if you don't take them out right away, they can get a little rust in them. This looks more like a little discoloration, but that is what the dishwasher can do. This doesn't bother me, and the knives still work great. So I guess it really depends what you are okay with.

I wouldn't sharpen them, they do get blunt after a while, but I feel they're too fat for a sharpener (as you said). And also, unlike non-roll-up pencils, there is nothing to grip onto. I feel you lose too much product in the process of sharpening. It may help to put it in the freezer/fridge beforehand.What I try to do, is to apply it more from the sides than the tip, so the tip doesn't go as blunt, but wears more from the side. If that makes sense.

I tried it once and they came out spotty, even though I have a high efficiency dishwasher with spot rinse. I polished out the spot and now wash and dry them by hand. They are worth it though. They look better hand-washed. They are great knives, sharp, plus look great on counter top. It's not a big deal to hand wash them. I'd buy them again or give as a gift. Good luck.
