FAQ - Kasho Balanced Precision Series

Q: What is the Kasho Balanced Precision Series?
A: The Kasho Balanced Precision Series is a line of professional Japanese hairdressing shears designed as an entry point into premium KASHO tools . True to their name, these shears feature a perfectly balanced weight distribution that makes them easy to handle and provides ideal control for each cut . They are popular as a first "investment shear" for stylists seeking quality without the highest price point.

Q: What sizes are available in the Balanced Precision Series?
A: The Balanced Precision Series is available in 5.5 inches and 6.0 inches . The 6.0-inch model is often cited as a versatile length that feels comfortable in most stylists' hands, making it a popular choice as a primary cutting tool . The 6.0-inch length provides enough leverage for scissor-over-comb techniques while maintaining precision for detail work.

Q: What type of steel is used in Balanced Precision shears?
A: Balanced Precision blades are forged of premium Japanese VG-10W stainless steel . This high-carbon stainless steel alloy contains cobalt and vanadium to achieve superior resistance to corrosion and wear . The steel hardness ranges from 58-61 HRC on the Rockwell scale, ensuring long-term blade sharpness and durability .

Q: What is the blade design of Kasho Balanced Precision shears?
A: The Balanced Precision Series features a semi-convex/hollow-ground blade design . This blade style combines the ultra-sharp edge of a convex blade with the durability of a beveled edge . The inner side of the blade is hollowed so the blades only touch at the point of intersection, reducing cutting resistance and minimizing hand fatigue . The result is a smooth, effortless cutting experience .

Q: Are Balanced Precision shears ergonomic?
A: Yes. Balanced Precision shears feature an offset handle design with a detachable finger rest/tang . The offset position reduces overextension of the thumb, promoting a more open grip and hand position that helps reduce hand pain and fatigue—even during fully booked days . The finger rest can be easily removed or reinstalled according to stylist preference .

Q: What tension system do Balanced Precision shears use?
A: Balanced Precision shears feature KASHO's ratchet-screw system . This innovative system allows stylists to easily adjust the tension of the shears without any tools—simply feel the gentle 'click' of the ratchet to tighten or loosen the tension . This ensures perfect tension is always maintained for optimal cutting performance.

Q: What finish do Balanced Precision shears have?
A: The Balanced Precision Series features a matte satin finish . This elegant, muted appearance resists fingerprints and corrosion, keeping the shears looking professional and clean throughout daily use . The finish is both stylish and functional, reducing visible smudges that can occur during busy salon days.

Q: What cutting techniques are Balanced Precision shears best for?
A: Balanced Precision shears are "do-it-all" tools suitable for multiple cutting techniques . They excel at precision cutting, slide cutting, and scissor-over-comb techniques . The semi-convex blade geometry makes them versatile for various cutting methods, from blunt cuts to texturizing and point cutting. They function effectively as an all-around primary shear for daily salon use .

Q: Are Balanced Precision shears right-handed or left-handed?
A: The Balanced Precision Series is designed for right-handed use . The offset handle and blade geometry are specifically engineered for right-hand orientation to ensure optimal ergonomics and cutting performance.

Q: What is included with the purchase of Balanced Precision shears?
A: Balanced Precision shears typically include a scissor case, feathering razor, finger inserts, oil brush, cloth, and tension key . They are backed by KASHO's Lifetime Warranty, and the first sharpening is free . The included accessories provide everything needed for proper maintenance and care.

Q: Where are Kasho Balanced Precision shears manufactured?
A: Kasho Balanced Precision shears are handcrafted and made in Japan . Each pair is created through careful design and engineering with advanced materials and heat-treatment technology. The manufacturing process involves meticulous hand-honing, assembly, and setting by a "Shujin" master, blending integrated manufacturing with skillful workmanship passed through generations of Japanese Samurai sword smithies .

This makes it ideal for:

• New professionals investing in their first premium shears

• Barbers and stylists seeking a reliable primary cutting tool

• Salon owners equipping multiple stylists with quality tools

• Stylists transitioning from lower-quality shears to Japanese craftsmanship
