Description

The Mina Ash Black is a 6” thinner with fine V-form tooth serration in cutting-grade 7CR stainless. V-form teeth come to a point that meets the blade like a tiny pair of scissors, so each strand is severed cleanly. Fine, closely-set serration keeps the cut soft, which puts this in blend-and-soften territory rather than heavy bulk removal.

• Cutting-grade steel: Stainless alloy (7CR) at 55-57HRC — honest hardness that sharpens cleanly and resists corrosion.
• Fine V-form serration: Severs the strand cleanly for a smooth, soft blend with no shelf.
• Offset handle: Keeps the thumb forward and the wrist neutral across long sessions.
• Black allergy-neutral coating: Easier on skin that reacts to nickel.
• Light at 42g: Less mass to manage through detailed thinning.
• 6”, right-handed: A single mid-length build with good control for fine work.

Professional Opinion

“A thinner is the one tool where I’m relaxed about a budget buy, because the steel is doing less brutal work than a cutting blade, and the Ash Black is a sensible pick for the money. The fine V-tooth serration takes out weight cleanly and leaves a soft, blended line rather than a shelf — good for removing bulk from a thick four-corners or feathering a fringe. At 42g it’s light, the offset sits naturally, and the black allergy-neutral coating is a real plus if you or your client react to nickel.

Set your expectations with the steel, though: 7CR at 55-57 HRC is honest cutting-grade, not premium cobalt, so the teeth will dull faster than a Yasaka or Kasho and I wouldn’t try to resharpen serrations cheaply — when they go, you replace. As an apprentice’s first thinner, a colourist’s blending tool, or a low-cost second texturiser, it does the job without pretending to be more.”
