Professional Opinion
The convex edge and offset handle make this an easy everyday cutter, and the 5.5 and 6.0 inch options cover the two lengths most stylists reach for. Suits anyone who wants a dark finish and a convex blade without spending heavily; it pairs naturally with the matching Ash Black thinner.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Store in a protective case when not in use
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 7CR steel and how does it compare to SUS440C?
7CR is a mid-range stainless steel that is softer than SUS440C (55-57 HRC vs 58-60 HRC). It is easier to sharpen but will need sharpening more frequently. For the price, it is a practical everyday steel.
Can I pair the Ash Black cutter with the Ash Black thinner?
Yes. Mina sells both pieces individually and as the Black Diamond kit, so you can buy them separately or together as a matched set.
