The dishwasher will pit and ruin your edge. Don't do it.

+1 Once in a while may not hurt. It depends on the detergent used, but generally the detergents are quite abrasive. They have to be abrasive to clean effectively with no cloths/scrubbers. Over time, this can wear on the finish and edge. Some glass gets etched by the detergent over time, and typically, glass is harder than steel. I hand wash all my knives except for those I don't care about.
I'm sure that you're aware of all this , but I couldn't resist. I'm not anti-diswasher by any means. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Congrats on the score! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I did not have a clue the dishwasher did that... but I never put anything other than a kitchen blade through it b4... I will hand wash in the future.

BTW, I painted her with some acidic Grout Cleaner last night... she grayed up just ever so slightly (very hard to tell)... but I hope that is all she needs to resist. No its 6:30 am, time to rinse and dry rub my rack, and then light the wood coals for the smoker-

Can you post some pics of the Muk after you forced the patina?

Enjoy every sandwich.
