• How do I clean my Garde can opener?

  Regularly clean the surface and knife using a toothbrush-style brush and a food-safe sanitizer. After drying, apply a food-safe oil to the gear to ensure smooth operation.

• Can I sharpen the blade on my Garde can opener?

  No, the blade is designed to be purposely dull to prevent metal shavings. If the opener is not cutting properly, you should replace the knife and gear rather than attempting to sharpen it.

• How often should I replace the blade on my oyster shucker?

  It is recommended to replace the blade when it shows signs of significant wear or becomes too dull to penetrate shells effectively.

• Is Garde equipment dishwasher safe?

  For most Garde manual equipment, such as slicers and cast-iron can openers, hand washing with mild detergents is recommended to prevent pitting or damage to the finish. Avoid alkaline cleaners.

• How do I adjust the slice thickness on the Rotary Slicer?

  Hold the slicing assembly stationary and twist the thickness adjustment knob located on the blade assembly until the desired thickness is reached.
