I looked at a couple of the knives I used the most and there are hairline cracks in the handles from being in the dishwasher. I'm just totally sick about this as these are Wusthof knives that I try to take great care with. I thought that they would be dishwasher safe.

I'm sure others could do it, but it's free to have Kai do it for me, and they know how to sharpen their own blades. If I have a knicked blade, they just replace the knife, too. Some knives (Shun) are ok in the dishwasher, but the danger isn't always to the knife; if the edge lays on the rubber coating on the racks, it can cut through, and the wire underneath will likely rust through.

I read this article again and picked up on the dishwasher tip. Since we've upgraded our dishwasher to a new model, I've noticed that my knives and good pans are not faring well with the heat.
