I put my Victorinox in the dishwasher with no ill effect. The biggest danger is when a visitor decides to chop a tomoto on a ceramic plate.
It's no Japanese chef knife, but a bargin for what it is.

The best part about the Victorinox line of knives is there handles. You can't ruin them with the dishwasher. Wood and other natural materials don't fare well in the dishwasher. Their steel (note quite sure what it is) is very corrosion resistant as well. It holds an edge long enough, and it is easy to sharpen. If you are a "knife is a tool" kind of a person, go with Victorinox.
my 8" victorinox will be 8 years old in march, and is still going very strong, quite the bargain.
