YAMANI WA#600 Vitrified Bond

WA #600 Vitrified Bond — White Alumina Medium-Coarse Whetstone

A professional medium-coarse whetstone made with WA (White Alumina) abrasive, offering a finer and more controlled sharpening action than the GC #320.

While the GC #320 is designed for heavier material removal, thinning, geometry correction, and repair work, the WA #600 is ideal for refining the blade after coarse sharpening and for general sharpening where the aggressive cutting power of #320 is not required.

Its finer abrasive helps refine bevels, remove coarse sharpening marks, and prepare the blade for medium and finishing stones, while still providing sufficient cutting ability for practical blade adjustment.

How to Use a Vitrified Bond Whetstone.

1. Soak the whetstone in clean water before use.
2. Once sufficiently saturated, remove it from the water and begin sharpening.
3. Keep the surface wet by adding water as needed during use.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after sharpening.
5. Allow the stone to dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

Caution: Do not use hot water or dry the stone rapidly with direct sunlight, heaters, or other heat sources, as this may cause cracking or damage.
