Getting to Know Your Garde 3 Stage Knife Sharpener
The Garde 3 stage knife sharpener is perfectly designed to sharpen a variety of knives with straight and serrat-
ed edges. The 3 stage sharpening system begins with a coarse sharpening stage, equipped with 100% diamond
abrasive discs to create the ideal bevel and burr. After only a few strokes, your knife is ready for the second stage of
sharpening. In Stage 2, a higher grit of 100% diamond abrasives creates a finer micro-bevel and burr and prepares
your knife for the final polishing/stropping stage. In Stage 3, flexible resin sharpening disks straighten and polish
your knife’s blade, fine-tuning the bevel and burr created in the coarse and fine grinding stages. Combined, the 3
stages result in an extremely sharp edge that is ready to withstand the rigors of your busy kitchen.
