The ones I've bought say not to wash them or they will rust. This just
seems creepy to me so I do wash them on occasion. Have never put them in
the dishwasher and they always rust. The little round cutting pieces rust.
My parents always put theirs in the dishwasher and they seem to have better
luck at keeping them than I do. When I start seeing rusty marks on my hands
after washing the thing, I toss it.

I don't know where you live, but I'm in the Seattle area. I think things
cost more here. I've seen them cheaper online but then I have to factor
postage in there so I'm not really saving anything going that route.
