Never get stuck by a knife again! When loading your dishwasher, place your sharp knives in the very back silverware space. This way you'll always know where they are and never reach in and get cut again.
Here here to points down in the dishwasher.... Not only is it safer as far as getting stuck, you also may retrieve the silverware and knives without handling the ends that go into your families mouths.

I thought that washing knives in the dishwasher was a no-no because it dulled the cutting blade.

I always put the silverware in the basket point down. Forks , too, can jab if you reach in blindly. I take the whole basket out when I empty the dishwasher, take it to the drawer and empty it there.

I put a plastic mesh scrubbie in the bottom of one of the silverware holders. Then I stick the sharp knives point down into it. No more getting cut on knives sticking up and this keeps the knives from slipping through the bottom of the silverware holder.
