Hey, I have the exact same knife! We're machete mates!
-
I hand wash everything.
I started a thread about it here, but it turned into a fight, so I deleted it. -
I hand wash my good stuff, definitely makes a difference. I've had the rivets on decent quality pots corrode and fail after I got a dishwasher

Yes, it would be. The main reason things aren't dishwasher safe is the detergent or heat can damage the material. Food grade stainless steel would be fine with both.
-
Friendly reminder that most home kitchen knives don't need frequent sharpening. Honing the blade is usually all that's necessary unless there's damage to the edge (which shouldn't happen much if you keep your blade honed).
I haven't sharpened my daily driver chef's knife in 7 years, and it can still slice through a tomato with no effort.

You literally only need a whetstone and some free time
-
And I love doing it so I really don't mind, unless it's those garbage Walmart things that are all serrated because they aren't knives but meat saws. I just tell em to throw them in the trash.
My go-to knife brand is sanelli. Nothing beats em imo

So what you’re saying is you can sharpen my knives.
Here, let me put on a movie

I've just kinda stuck with Henkels over the years for butchering and boning, and Gerber for hunting/gutting. I have a Global kitchen knife but frankly I find I use some cheapshit ceramics quite a lot, I'm very surprised how long they've lasted. I have heard of people sharpening them with carbide, but I've never bothered.

Just so you know putting blades through the dishwasher dulls them faster, the main thing is the edge will warp due to differences in temperature so you'll need to hone them with a steel afterwards to keep the edge consistent, you'll also probably need to use a whetstone more often.
But up to you, I've got 'trash and bash' knives I put through all the time, but I keep my expensive knives away from it

Let's assume this is the before photo
