Everyone here is taught to put any sharp utensil in the last, at the
back, utensil basket. That way, anyone unloading the dishwasher know
where to expect sharps. I am not a fan of putting pokey/sharp things
sharp side down in the basket. They often ruin the basket bottom or
stick through far enough to snag the passing washer arm.
