many people would say: don’t put knives in the dishwasher at all.
Meaning, good kitchen knives...tableware is fine. But kitchen knives (slicers, dicers, etc) depend on very thin foils at the blade edge. The chemicals and heat involved in dishwashers can damage the blade.
(this is only marginally resolved by using serrated knives...those may not be damaged by dishwashers as much, but I have yet to find one that works as well as a pretty good kitchen knife that is even marginally maintained)
Henckels do a really nice serrated knife. That being said—they also do really nice proper knives. They’re really expensive, but if you have, say, a mother who never ever sharpens her knives and therefore believes that only serrated knives are “sharp”, a Henckels knife is a great present.
