Wooden handle knives that can be put in the dishwasher.

Usually it is not recommended to put in the dishwasher or utensils covered wooden handle kitchen. Besides the few covered pans or in my kitchen, of this type, which have been cleaned voluntarily and have completely lost their original appearance and are cracked.

So I had strong reservations to acquire these knives despite their particularly attractive look and reputation of the blades until the day I visited the Opinel museum in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. There it was explained to me that the sleeves are treated to withstand the dishwasher; However, you must have them with the blade down to minimize the risk of infiltration between blade and handle.

After several months of near daily use and passage in the dishwasher I have not noticed alteration sleeves.

Thus reassured we have offered to our family members and friends.
