I say basically new because we’ve had them for maybe a month. Had to run the dishwasher again to get it unstuck. It’s a crappy apartment provided dishwasher that doesn’t do its job well (notice the food stains that won’t come off). There’s still melted plastic on the heating element and the plastic fumes are strong.

Edit: I was never taught that you’re not supposed to put knives in the dishwasher. Going forward I will wash them by hand. Thank you all for letting me know.

    Sounds like the knife fell out of the rack onto the heating element.

    Personally, I don’t even put my knives in the dishwasher. Too much chance for them to be damaged or damage something else.

    Edit: I guess redditors have never seen a fucking ceramic knife before? Or am I missing something here?

    Could also just be a painted blade knife, which are also common.
