Although Cutco Cutlery is dishwasher safe, we recommend you carefully hand-wash your products in hot water, using a mild dishwashing liquid. Dry them after washing. Allowing items to soak in the dishwater may cause staining from the mineral content in some water.
Although the damage is often not immediately visible, the dishwasher will dull your knives over time. The detergents in the machine attack the blades. They contain salts that contribute to corrosion and thus to wear and tear on the knife blade. As a result, knives will lose their sharpness and no longer look good.
The company has paid millions of dollars in lawsuits alleging deceptive recruiting practices. Cutco does sell products, but they derive a large portion of their sales from new employees, their families, and friends.
Agile, thin, slicy steel, the low-end steel makes them easy to sharpen and their serrated knives can be sharpened by Cutco for cheaper than any other sharpening service I have heard of.

Cutco was a very nice but different job to handle.
Dishwasher soap is very corrosive, and will pit the steel on your knives. Also, if the handles are wood, the dishwasher will not do them any favours. Good knives are expensive, so do yourself a favour and save your knives — take the few minutes to wash them by hand, dry them immediately, and store them safely.
Dishwashers do tend to blunt sharp knives over time, but this shouldn't be a massive concern for the cutlery knives you use every day.
With all that being said, Cutco knives are dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing for these reasons. Dishwashers can be hard on knives, as the agitation can cause blades to bump up against other items, possibly damaging the sharp edge.

Ramsay likes Henckels knives. This is a German brand known for their toughness and bulky blades.
The blade of a Cutco Knife is made from high-carbon, stainless steel for sharpness, superior edge retention, beauty and easy care. This material also resists rust and corrosion.
While only straight-edge knives can be sharpened at home, Cutco's Double-D® edge will stay sharp for years, due to its recessed edge design. When knives with those edges need sharpening, they should be sharpened at the factory, which is free as part of The Forever Guarantee.
Serrated blades can be sharpened best in Stage 2. Center the blade in the slot of Stage 2 and make five forward and back stroke pairs. Examine the edge and if necessary make another five full strokes.
To ensure the highest quality knives, Cutco starts with high-carbon, stainless steel that holds a sharp edge while maintaining its beauty. This steel also resists rust and corrosion.
Never cut on glass, ceramic or countertops. Those surfaces are harder than a knife's edge and will quickly dull the blade. It's what you cut on that dulls knives, not what you're cutting.
Not all Cutco knives have small serrations. Also, you can sharpen their serrated knives, even ones with small serrations.
In addition to their cutting ability, serrated knives are also known for their durability. Because the teeth on the blade are not as fine as those on a straight-edged knife, they are less likely to dull quickly. This means that serrated knives often go longer between sharpenings than other knives in your kitchen.
