Do they rust after being cleaned in the dishwasher several times?

No they haven't rusted or stained at all. I have had them for many months now and no problems. Still love them!

I usually wash dishes by hand, however, I haved used this flatware exclusively for a year now and I've never seen even a hint of rust.

No. We have always washed ours in the dishwasher and they come out looking as new as the first day we got them. Remember, these are really luncheon knives - smaller and lighter than dinner knives.

Mine have been through the dishwasher once with no trace of rust ( I just inspected closely).

None of the knives have rusted or chipped and I use them everyday when I repair my meals. I wash the knives in the dishwashers along with other dishes I do not do anything special when I clean them I just put them in the dishwasher.

Hi, I have only used the items in the dishwasher around 10 times since I bought them. I took a close look at them today and saw no sign of tarnish on them. I must say I really like the set and also like that they are heavier than my other set. Good luck.

Mine don't have any rust and I've had them for many years. I typically wash them in the dishwasher with the heated dry cycle so that may help since they get well dried. But I've also had them wet from being rinsed off and sitting on the counter for a couple days. They don't rust then either.

I have washed mine in the dishwasher without issue (no dulling, chipping, rusting, etc) - I do not recall if they were specifically labeled as dishwasher safe though.

Mine actually rusted after their first trip through the dishwasher. None of my other silverware have experienced any rust issues (not even the cheap stuff), I guess I have just gotten a faulty set.

I have washed mine in the dishwasher a few times with no ill-effects. That said will they go the long haul with no rust? In truth don't know.

I wash mine in the dishwasher all the time with no sign of rust whatsoever - very unlike the old tin flour sifter it replaced.

The springs will rust whether in the dishwasher or washed by hand. If dried thoroughly, there is no problem. My first pair lasted30 years.

so they tell you to not put them in the dish washer because the dish wash dulls the knifes. Mine got spot rust on them after being cleaned in the dishwasher. The ones I hand washed have not rusted.

No rusting...but a few are missing after Thanksgiving...do you think they might have dissolved in the dishwasher?

My Oneida rusted also, but no rust with these yet; however, I have been handwashing, don't know if that makes a difference.

I haven't had a rust problem, but I don't put it in the dishwasher either. I wash and dry by hand (no biggie) and they continue to look new. I had one knife in the dishwasher by accident, and although I have a high-efficiency unit with spot rinse, it came out spotty. I love these knives and would buy them again.

That depends on how long you leave them in water. If you're like my husband and dump them in a sink full of water and don't wash them or remove them, then yes. When I got back from my 2 day trip, the knife had a couple of rust spots. My advice would be to not let them soak in water for very long. But as far as using them in a dishwasher, not had a problem so far. I hope that helps.

Had mine for many months now and it's not rusted. I hand wash it though, never been through the dishwasher.

My Mother has had these knives for a couple years, always put them through the dishwasher, and they're just as sharp (or, at least, not noticeably dull) as the day they were first purchased. I have yet to see them rust either. Hope that helps!
