In my home we have a bristle knife cleaner because we do have sharp knives of a wide variety and I don't like the sponges becoming torn up as quickly. I would highly recommend it ( amazon.com/dp/B01I6UGYS2/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_39QWKDPAGMJ19DJ13WZN_0 ) or something similar to help with cleaning the knives safely that is not through the dishwasher.

Don’t know how large your blades are but I use this to wash my deadly sharp knives. Maybe this would work.
