The handles are NOT dishwasher safe.  I ran them all through the dishwasher once and just look at them, the handles seem pretty well ruined.  I use a rinse aid and don't get soap spots on the rest of my dishes. 2 stars because the blade is still fine (albeit flimsy and bends like it's cheap) and cuts well enough.  It's just not the quality I expect from the Henkles brand - perhaps that's why the J.A. was left off the name on these?  I would return them but I'm having an unbelievably hard time with Wayfair giving me my money back, it's been a nightmare to deal with for 3 months on other things.
