When nicks are visible, the #400 is the time to use it. #1000 has just the right amount of sharpening power and should be used when the blade has dulled. #1000 is sufficient for maintaining ordinary household knives.
How to Use: When using a diamond whetstone, it's important to sharpen gently without applying too much pressure. Because of its high abrasive power, over-sharpening will rapidly wear down the blade. If the blade is chipped, use a rough whetstone of around 400 grit, and if you want to improve sharpness, use a medium whetstone of around 1000 grit. It's also important to sharpen without sharpening at too much of an angle.
