The Mina Umi set pairs a selectable cutter with a fixed 6.0" 30-tooth thinner, both in SUS440C at 58 HRC. Cutter sizes run from 4.5" to 7.0", with right-handed pairings throughout and left-handed choices from 5.0".
A selectable cutter and fixed 6.0" thinner make up the Mina Umi set. Cutter sizes run from 4.5" to 7.0", with right-handed pairings throughout and left-handed choices from 5.0". Both tools share SUS440C at 58 HRC, convex edges, offset handles, mirror polish and key-adjustable screws.
Each pairing changes the cutter size and hand; its 6.0" thinner follows that same hand. A straight blade profile applies to the cutter.
The thinner’s 30 V-groove teeth select strands inside the established outline. Tooth count alone cannot predict take-off, so placement and a test section remain more useful than an assumed rate.
A maintenance cloth, care guide and reusable storage box accompany the set, with a tension key and travel case as bonus extras. The left- and right-handed choices give a student a coordinated cutter and thinner without changing hand between tools.

How this pair cuts

This pair
Semi-convex

This pair

This pair
Sword blade 剣刃 ken-ba
