Mina Black Diamond Cutting Scissors

Start with the bevelled cutter

Black Diamond’s useful construction detail is its smooth flat-bevel cutting edge. This is one right-handed Mina cutter in SUS440C steel, with an offset handle and a black finish. Select 5.5, 6.0 or 7.0 inches.

Keep those nominal sizes beside your familiar shear when deciding which reach belongs in your work. The whole-tool inch label does not provide a blade-span measurement, and the seven-inch option is a separate choice from the smaller two.

Compare the grind at a shared size

The Timeless 5.5-inch cutter is another right-handed SUS440C model with an offset handle. It lists a convex slice edge, while Black Diamond lists a flat bevel. That is the useful edge comparison to make before choosing a dark finish.

Our blade guide separates edge construction from the blade’s line and profile. Keep the model’s stated grind with your servicing record too: a photograph or family name cannot supply that detail for a sharpener.

Add the thinner through the actual kit

The Black Diamond kit with a 5.5-inch cutter adds a fixed six-inch, thirty-tooth thinner. It lets you buy the two jobs together while keeping the selected cutter length clear.

Use the Black Diamond model guide for that component comparison. The similar-name guide also separates decorative names from actual tool contents. Decide whether the cutter alone fills the missing job, then check your selected size and current price. Keep the blade dry after cleaning and protect both tips and edges in storage.
