Hello everyone, just have a quick question about an inquiry I received. As all of my knives that I make mostly are high carbon steel and meant to be hand washed. I have a client looking to outfit his restaurant with some knives but is requesting they be dishwasher safe, for obvious reasons. However I have never made a knife that can be put in a dishwasher. Any suggestions other that blade being from stainless steel or coated in some way. Need some handle info, I use west system epoxy for my handles normally. Would I be better off using this still or going with a corby bolt? I was thinking using kirinite, g10, shokres or something along that for the handle material.. Thanks everyone look forward to hearing back.
cheers
 
send him here(https://www.etundra.com/catalogsearch/?keyword=chef's knife) and have him look at the winco and dexter stuff. even in a restaurant, good knives don't go in the dishwasher. there are other methods to clean. you need to check local health rules. some cities/states do not allow wood handles, some areas specify times and temperatures, some allow chemical disinfection. again, you and the client need to check local health regulations before going forward. the type of epoxy to use really doesn't matter if local law says molded handles only.

Yeah I am steering him towards not sending anything through the dish machine. Ive been a chef for last 17 years and I have always hand washed all my knives or the kitchen beaters. Our handle choices are pretty open here was just curious what others have used for this occasion.
