STAGE ONE · 220 GRIT
Coarse
Removes nicks and reshapes a damaged edge. Aggressive, only used when the blade actually needs it.
Four grits, one blade
Every grit, in order. No shortcuts to an edge.
A real edge is built in passes, coarse to fine, finished on a strop. Skip a stage and you're left with a blade that feels sharp for a week and dull for a year.
Drop-off open today, most knives ready same day.
The four stages
Same blade, same order, every time.
STAGE TWO · 600 GRIT
Medium
Refines the edge coarse leaves behind. Most knives that are just dull start here.
STAGE THREE · 1000 GRIT
Fine
Polishes the edge to where it actually cuts clean, not just feels sharp to a thumb.
STAGE FOUR · STROP
Strop
Removes the microscopic burr the stones leave behind. The last pass, not a real sharpening step.
