2000 Grit Diamond Sharpener Head for a Razor-Sharp Edge

The 2000 Grit Diamond Sharpener Head is the fine stage of the Modüla™ sharpening system from Solidteknics. It is not for rescuing a blunt knife. It is for keeping an already sharp knife razor sharp. A quick touch-up at 20 degrees on each side before you start cooking is all it takes to keep a good edge at its best.

What a 2000 Grit Head Is For

Grit describes how coarse or fine a sharpening surface is. At 2000, this is the finest head in the Modüla™ range. It removes very little steel, which makes it the right tool for frequent, light maintenance:

• Touching up a sharp edge before each cooking session
• Keeping knives razor sharp between deeper sharpens
• Frequent, light maintenance that removes very little steel
• Maintaining a 20 degree bevel on each side

If a knife has become dull, start with the 1000 grit head. If the edge is blunt, worn or damaged, the 400 grit head regrinds it first.

How It Works

Every Modüla™ sharpener head is a one-piece pass-through sharpener made from spring steel with an industrial diamond coating. Its flexible fingers hold the sharpening angle for you, so there is no guessing and no balancing a blade against a stone.

• Rock, don't drag: draw the knife through the channel with a gentle rocking motion
• Sharpen: apply firmer pressure deeper in the channel to engage the diamonds
• Hone: use lighter strokes at the smooth top section of the head

Sharpening and honing happen in the one head, so there is no second tool to reach for. A quick touch-up fits easily into your normal prep routine.

Designed to Work With the Trilobite™

The 2000 Grit Diamond Sharpener Head is designed to work as a system with the Trilobite™ Sharpener Mount. The Trilobite™ is a free-standing aluminium mount that holds one head at a time. It sits on the bench without being attached to anything, so there are no screws to fit and no DIY. Swap heads in and out as the job changes.

If you would rather, the head can also be mounted to the screws on the edge of a Modüla™ bamboo knife board, or to any screw head standing proud of a flat, solid surface.

Compatibility

• Suits double-edged (double-bevel) Western knives, not only Modüla™ blades
• Not suitable for single-bevel knives, including the Söliditi™ range
• Not suitable for serrated edges, including the Modüla™ 23cm Bread Knife

Where It Fits in the Modüla™ System

The Modüla™ sharpening system uses three interchangeable diamond heads, so you can match the head to what the blade actually needs:

• 400 grit, coarse: regrinds blunt, worn or damaged edges to a 15 degree bevel each side
• 1000 grit, medium: reconditions a dull blade at a 20 degree bevel each side
• 2000 grit, fine: keeps an already sharp edge razor sharp with a quick touch-up at 20 degrees each side

The 2000 grit head is available on its own, or as part of the complete Modüla™ Sharpening System with all three heads and the Trilobite™ mount.

Care

• Wipe clean after use with a dry cloth or soft brush to remove any residue
• No oil or water needed: unlike a whetstone, the diamond coating works best dry
• Store in a dry place, such as a drawer, when not mounted

Who It Suits

The 2000 grit head suits cooks who already look after their knives and want them sharp every time they pick them up. It suits Modüla™ knives in both VG10 Damascus and AUS-8 stainless, and any other double-edged Western knife with a plain, non-serrated edge.
