Can you tell me in detail if this is junk or a quality choice for hunting and survival?

Thanks

Joseph

Something I have noticed in my readings in some of the knife forms is that some knife owners do not realize that washing a knife in a dishwasher will ruin that knife. The dishwasher uses extremely hot water which can swell the handles and distort the springs in the folding parts of the knife.

Any good grade of knives, in fact any knives that have a wooden handle or rivets should never be put in a dishwasher!
