Mina

Mina’s current product catalogue names four models, each specified as VG10 on that page. Pro Classic is an offset, convex-edge cutter in 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 inches. Pro Crane is a crane-handle, convex-edge cutter in 5.5 through 7.0 inches. Slice is a 35-tooth, micro-serrated thinner in 5.5 and 6.0 inches. Left Edition is a left-handed offset cutter in 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 inches. These are catalogue specifications for the four named models, not a material claim about every Mina pair from every year.

Resolve the catalogue discrepancy

A separate FAQ on Mina’s own site describes Sakura, Umi and Timeless as a Professional Range and Matte Black, Black Diamond, Jay and Barber as an Entry Range. That differs from the current four-model products page and about page. Those pages do not explain whether the other names are still sold or how they relate to the four listed models. If a seller offers one, ask for its individual model sheet, current availability, written material specification and price.

Fit, origin and terms

Choose cutting versus thinning first, then compare blade length, handle geometry and handedness for the exact pair. Mina describes Left Edition as a purpose-built left-handed model; inspect or confirm its blade arrangement before ordering. The brand says current pairs are inspected and tension-adjusted in Japan before distribution. That is a final-check statement, not proof of the full manufacturing origin of every component.

The maker directs buyers to authorised distributors for current availability and pricing. Check seller identity, model designation, tax, delivery, returns and service terms for your market. The conflicting pages make that model-level confirmation especially important here.
