The dishwasher safety of small knives can vary depending on the materials used and the manufacturer's recommendations. It's important to review the care instructions provided with the specific knife set you are considering. In general, hand washing is recommended to prolong the lifespan and sharpness of the blades.
Most small knives can be sharpened to maintain their cutting performance. However, the sharpening method may vary depending on the type of blade and its material. It is advisable to refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional knife sharpener for the best sharpening technique for your specific knife set.
