Kasho Hairdressing Scissors Information
Kasho haidressing scissors have a unique and passionate following in the hairdressing industry. The Kasho scissor has unique features that set them apart from other scissor brands. In this page we try to explain why sylists, once they have used Kasho haidressing scissors, rarely switch to any other hair scissor brand.
Kasho haidressing scissors feature two different stainless steel alloys in order to meet the high Japanese quality demands for sharpness and material. The combination of different hardness grades means that every pair of scissors is perfectly balanced and guarantees that the cutting edge is exceptionally durable. The unique "Ultimate Edge" Kasho scissor blades guarantee that they are a pleasure to work with and cut accurately.
The unique Kasho manufacturing process ensures the necessary precision of the concave inner surfaces (hollow ground) and convex outer surfaces of the scissor blades. The convex-edged scissor blades are characterised by their exceptionally durable cutting edge. These blades are honed to an extremely sharp state with the inner side hollowed to such a point that the blades only touch at the point of intersection. This refined technology by Kasho ensures superb cutting edge durability, while at the same time reducing cutting edge resistance to a minimum and thus considerably limiting hand fatigue.
Every pair of Kasho haidressing scissors are supplied with optimal tension settings: these do, however, occasionally need to be checked and readjusted as required, to ensure the durability of the cutting edge and to guarantee healthy ease of use. Most Kasho haidressing scissors are therefore fitted with a tension adjustable screw to ease readjustment. The patented Disc Operation Systems ensures that the Kasho Millennium and XP Series are always perfectly tensioned.
Ergonomic Hairdressing Scissor Design
The Kasho haidressing scissors are made in three handle configurations - offset, semi-offset and straight. With the offset handle, you can work with your shoulders straight and elbow down, using minimal wrist movements. The semi-offset is a comfortable compromise between the offset and straight models. When working with the semi-offset or offset models, the shoulders remain straight and the elbows are not raised, putting far less strain on the wrist.
The Kasho Disc Operation System
he outstanding features of the Kasho Millennium and the Kasho XP-Series are their exceptional quality and their unique Disc Operation System. This sophisticated Kasho haidressing scissors screw system consists of an enclosed ball bearing unit, a special spring and a synthetic disc that ensures uniform pressure and incredibly smooth operation.
The enclosed ball bearing is free from collecting hair, dust and other substances from outside so that nothing may affect the precise movement of the scissors, whilst the synthetic disc between the upper and lower blades minimises friction and wear of the blades. Thanks to this complex Disc Operation System with a replaceable synthetic disc the Millennium and the XP-Series have a considerably long life span than any conventional models.
Kasho Haidressing Scissors Technology
Kasho haidressing scissors are manufactured of special high-carbon stainless steel alloy which has superior resistance to corrosion and wear. The steel is variously compounded with Molybdenum, vanadium, cobalt and other elements to achieve state-of-the-art characteristics, Kasho's advanced heat treatment and sub-zero quench techniques assure long-term blade sharpness and durability.
Kasho's unique scissor technology and Ultimate Edge is made possible by its proprietary state-of-the-art manufacturing process, which enables absolute accuracy in shaping the proper curvature of both the inner concave blade surface and the exterior convex surface. Match-paired blades are meticulously hand-honed, polished to flawless lustre, and assembled by expert artisan-technicians.
