Can I put my non-stick paring knives in the dishwasher?

"I have several of your knives (in sheaths) and LOVE them. I recently had house guests who loved them too so I bought some for them to have. Big question - can they go in the dishwasher without shortening their life or ruining them at all?

Thank you."

I’m glad you’re enjoying your knives, they really are wonderful little knives. Putting your knives in the dishwasher is safe, but washing them by hand will extend the life of your knives over time.
