FAQ - Kasho Damascus Series Offset Shear 6.5"

Q: What is the Kasho Damascus Series Offset Shear 6.5" used for?
A: The Kasho Damascus Series 6.5" Offset Shear is a professional precision cutting tool designed for stylists who frequently use techniques like scissor-over-comb or prefer a longer shear for larger section cutting. Its 6.5-inch length is considered extremely versatile and a "must-have length" for many professionals.

Q: What steel is used in the Damascus Series 6.5" Offset Shear?
A: The blades are constructed from 8 alternating micro layers of Damascus steel on the outside. The cutting core (the part that actually cuts hair) is made of premium VG-10W stainless steel or V10 cobalt alloy steel, ensuring ultimate sharpness, hardness, and an incredibly long-lasting edge.

Q: What is the Damascus patterning on these shears?
A: The beautiful, rippling patterns on the blades are created by 8 micro layers of Damascus steel layered on the outside of each blade. In Japan, this style of blade-making is known as kasumi, which means "mist," because the exterior Damascus has a lovely, misty appearance. Each pair has unique patterning—no two shears are identical, much like human fingerprints.

Q: What is the blade design of the Kasho Damascus Shear?
A: The blades feature the signature "samurai sword-style" blade design (sword/hollow ground upper blade; convex/hollow ground lower blade). They are precision sharpened by hand and mirror polished to bring out the distinctive Damascus patterning.

Q: What pivot system do the Damascus shears use?
A: The shears feature Kasho's adjustable flat head screw system with integrated ball bearings, often referred to as the "Ball-Bearing system". This ensures silky smooth operation without needing oil. The system is finished with a ceramic inlay of the KASHO logo on the tension screw as a sophisticated touch.

Q: What size and handle style is this shear available in?
A: This specific model is 6.5 inches with an offset handle design. The offset position puts the hand, wrist, and shoulder in a more ergonomic, comfortable position that reduces tension and fatigue during extended cutting sessions.

Q: Is the Kasho Damascus 6.5" Offset Shear right-handed or left-handed?
A: The Damascus series is designed for right-handed use.

Q: Does this shear have a removable finger rest/tang?
A: Yes. The offset handle features a removable tang (finger rest). You can simply unscrew it when you don't want it, and it is easy to reinstall when you do.

Q: What is the warranty for the Kasho Damascus Series?
A: All Kasho Damascus shears are backed by Kasho's Lifetime Warranty, and the first sharpening is free.

Q: Where are Kasho Damascus shears manufactured?
A: Kasho Damascus shears are handcrafted in Japan by master artisans. Each pair is meticulously hand-honed, assembled, and set by a "Shujin" master in a process that blends integrated manufacturing with skillful workmanship passed through generations of Japanese Samurai sword smithies.

Q: What is the model number for the Kasho Damascus 6.5" Offset Shear?
A: The model number is KAD65OS.
