Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Sakura II compare to the Mina Umi?
The Sakura II uses slightly harder steel (58-60 HRC vs 58 HRC) and a convex edge rather than a flat edge. This means it can handle slide cutting and offers a sharper, smoother cut, but it also costs a little more.
Are the sakura engravings purely decorative?
Yes. The cherry blossom engravings are cosmetic and do not affect cutting performance. They add a distinctive look to the scissors.
