My wife ran my one of a kind, handmade, tamahagane steel knife through the dishwasher. She load and unloads the dishwasher now, but she hasn't run it since.

My condolences

surely she's attacking the wrong problem? the issue wasn't that she ran the dishwasher in the first place, it was that she loaded the wrong item into the dishwasher.

if this story is true, then she should avoid loading the dishwasher. running it or not is immaterial.

The point is that I check before running it. Not loading anything into it at all is equivalent to punishing me indefinitely for her mistake.

My wife loading the dishwasher punishes me because I have rearrange things, so it's like I'm doing double work. There's a system!

I swear they do it on purpose.

And that's why I'll be rocking my mustache.

Does this actually somehow destroy the knife? Its wooden handle, or the blade itself? Surely this elvish steel can withstand boiling water 🤔

Pretty sure the blade is untreated, you shouldn't even wash it with soap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Washing it with soap won't hurt it. You just need to properly dry and oil it after. The dishwasher can ruin a wood handle, though.

I've heard dishwashers dull blades. I don't understand the science (assuming there is some) behind it.
