Yes, these knives are crafted from 18/8 stainless steel, which is inherently rust-resistant and durable enough for dishwasher use. However, to maintain the glossy finish and prevent water spots, hand washing and immediate drying are recommended.
These pieces are in excellent overall condition, though you may notice minor surface blemishes or light scratches consistent with gentle prior use. These marks are typically only visible upon close inspection and do not affect the functionality or the polished appearance of the knives.
