Mina Classic Black Hair Cutting Scissors5.5" Cutting Scissor£141.70

Mina Classic Black Hair Cutting Scissors come in 5.5" and 6.0", both in SUS440C stainless steel at 58 HRC. Each pairs a convex edge with a classic handle and a black finish with an adjustable tension dial; a storage box, care guide and tension key are supplied.

Mina Classic Black Hair Cutting Scissors are the entry point to the Mina range, offered in 5.5" and 6.0". Both sizes use SUS440C stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC, with a convex edge for slide cutting, point cutting and clean blunt lines on wet or dry hair.

The classic handle keeps both rings level and at a similar distance from the pivot, for a balanced, familiar grip. The black finish carries the MINA mark on the blade, and an adjustable tension dial lets you set the blades to suit your hand.

Each pair is right-handed and weighs about 40 g. A reusable Mina storage box, maintenance cloth, care guide and tension key are supplied.

How to use

The convex grind has a rounded outer face and an inner face hollow-ground behind a narrow ride line. It reduces blade contact through the close, while suitable tension keeps hair from folding and the ride line from dragging.

A classic handle places both rings at a similar distance from the pivot. The thumb travels further than with an offset handle, and some positions ask you to adjust the wrist or arm; the level rings also allow reversed grips. Their symmetry does not turn right-handed blades into left-handed ones.

Set the tension with the dial in small steps. If hair folds or pushes, clean and oil the pivot first, then test on a single section before changing the setting again.

Read 58 HRC as an indentation-hardness number beside SUS440C. It is not a standalone measure of sharpness, toughness, corrosion resistance or edge life; assess the complete tool in hand.

Sharpening & Care

Disinfect by the method required by the local rule and the product label, keeping the full labelled contact time. Rinse if directed, dry the scissors completely and oil only afterwards; an alcohol wipe alone is not automatically the compliant method.

SUS440C remains stainless steel, not rust-proof steel. Do not soak, steam, autoclave or place the scissors in an ultrasonic bath, and avoid rust erasers or abrasive polish unless the maker specifically allows that method. Dry the edge, pivot and any scratch completely.

After a fall to a hard floor, leave the pair closed and take it out of service. Under strong light, look for a bright spot, gap or twist without touching the edge. Close it slowly only while the action remains familiar; a new catch, sound or feel needs professional inspection.

How this pair cuts

Edge geometry decides technique — and maintenance.

Convex 蛤刃 hamaguri-ba Razor edge for slide and wet cutting, designed for a quiet, low-resistance cut. This pair
Semi-convex Sharp yet forgiving — the versatile all-rounder, easier to maintain than full convex. This pair
Bevelled 段刃 dan-ba Durable workhorse edge with audible feedback — suits blunt cutting and training. This pair
Sword blade 剣刃 ken-ba Ridged spine adds power through thick, dry sections and scissor-over-comb work. This pair
Convex edges need specialist sharpening: a standard grind can flatten the profile. Use a sharpener experienced with convex scissor blades.
