Where this sits
In Ohka's thinning scissors lineup the Ohka Amida AM Thinning occupies the mid-range tier, priced between the Ohka Super Elite 050 and the Ohka Stegosaurus SMV (21). Manufactured in Taiwan.
Tooth patterns in this series
The Amida AM thinner comes in three tooth patterns at 6.0 inches, all at the same price:
| Version | Pattern |
|---|---|
| Amida AM (30U) | 30 teeth |
| Amida AM (40U) | 40 teeth |
| Amida AM (40UB) | 40 teeth, alternate cut |
A higher tooth count removes a finer amount of hair per pass for softer blending.

Professional Opinion
Choosing between the 30U, 40U and 40UB patterns is really choosing how much hair comes out per pass: higher tooth counts take a finer amount for softer blending. All three sit at 6.0 inches and the same price, so the decision stays purely about the finish you want.
