It is made for the most common situation in any kitchen: a knife that has gone dull with use and needs more than a quick touch-up, but is not damaged. At 1000 grit it reconditions the edge at a 20 degree bevel on each side, bringing a tired blade back to properly sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat a 1000 Grit Head Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrit describes how coarse or fine a sharpening surface is. At 1000, this head sits in the middle of the Modüla™ range. It removes enough steel to rebuild a dull edge without the heavy material removal of a coarse grit:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReconditioning blades that crush tomatoes or slide off onion skins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBringing a dull working edge back to sharp at 20 degrees each side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular sharpening for knives in daily use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnives that need more than a quick touch-up but are not damaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor knives that are already sharp and only need keeping that way, the 2000 grit head gives a lighter, faster touch-up. For edges that are badly blunt, worn or damaged, begin with the 400 grit head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRock, don't drag:\u003c\/strong\u003e draw the knife through the channel with a gentle rocking motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSharpen:\u003c\/strong\u003e apply firmer pressure deeper in the channel to engage the diamonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHone:\u003c\/strong\u003e use lighter strokes at the smooth top section of the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharpening and honing happen in the one head, so there is no second tool to reach for. For a blade that is dull rather than damaged, a few controlled passes are the whole job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned to Work With the Trilobite™\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1000 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits double-edged (double-bevel) Western knives, not only Modüla™ blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for single-bevel knives, including the Söliditi™ range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for serrated edges, including the Modüla™ 23cm Bread Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere It Fits in the Modüla™ System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Modüla™ sharpening system uses three interchangeable diamond heads, so you choose the head to suit the blade in front of you:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e400 grit, coarse: regrinds blunt, worn or damaged edges to a 15 degree bevel each side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1000 grit, medium: reconditions a dull blade at a 20 degree bevel each side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2000 grit, fine: keeps an already sharp edge razor sharp with a quick touch-up at 20 degrees each side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1000 grit head is available on its own for adding to an existing setup, or as part of the complete Modüla™ Sharpening System with all three heads and the Trilobite™ mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe clean after use with a dry cloth or soft brush to remove any residue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo oil or water needed: unlike a whetstone, the diamond coating works best dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a dry place, such as a drawer, when not mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1000 grit head suits home cooks who use their knives every day and want to keep them working properly without learning to use a whetstone.
