The Mina Umi thinner is a 6.0" 30-tooth scissor in SUS440C at 58 HRC, offered in right- and left-handed builds. Its V-groove standard thinning pattern, convex edge, offset handle, mirror polish and key-adjustable screw are common to both choices.
Built as a 6.0" thinner, Mina Umi uses SUS440C at 58 HRC and is made in Japan. Right- and left-handed builds each have 30 teeth in a V-groove standard thinning pattern, a convex edge, offset handle, mirror polish and key-adjustable screw. The tooth spaces select part of each section during closure, leaving its established outline in place while reducing weight.
Scissors, a maintenance cloth, care guide and reusable storage box are included, with a tension key as the bonus extra. The same package accompanies either handed build. The fixed 6.0" format and left-hand option give a student a clear first thinner for a developing kit.

How this pair cuts
Edge geometry decides technique — and maintenance.

This pair

This pair
Bevelled 段刃 dan-ba

This pair
Sword blade 剣刃 ken-ba

Convex edges need specialist sharpening: a standard grind can flatten the profile. Use a sharpener experienced with convex scissor blades.
