FAQ - Kasho Green Series Offset Shear
Q: What is the Kasho Green Series Offset Shear used for?
A: The Kasho Green Series Offset Shear is a professional hairdressing shear designed for all-purpose cutting. It is considered an "all-around powerhouse shear" that excels at scissor-over-comb techniques, blunt cuts, layering, and cutting long hair because it takes more hair per cut, making it faster than many other shears .
Q: What steel is used in the Kasho Green Series Offset Shear?
A: The Green Series Offset Shear is forged from premium Japanese VG-10W high-carbon stainless steel . This steel alloy is compounded with molybdenum, vanadium, cobalt, and other elements to achieve superior resistance to corrosion and wear. The high chromium content allows a bright mirror polish that helps protect against rust .
Q: What is the blade design of the Green Series Offset Shear?
A: The shear features convex/hollow-ground blades that are honed to a fine, beautiful mirror polish . The convex blade provides an exceptionally sharp, durable cutting edge. The inner side is hollowed so the blades only touch at the point of intersection, reducing cutting resistance to a minimum and considerably reducing hand fatigue .
Q: What handle design does the Kasho Green Series Offset Shear have?
A: The Green Series Offset Shear features a semi-offset handle design . This design reduces overextension of the thumb, promoting a more comfortable grip and an open hand position that helps reduce hand fatigue during extended cutting sessions . The shears also feature an easy-to-remove, easy-to-reinstall finger rest (tang) .
Q: What pivot system does the Kasho Green Series Offset Shear use?
A: The shear is equipped with a tension-adjustable screw with an integrated ball bearing . This system reduces friction and allows stylists to fine-tune the cutting tension for ultimate precision with just a twist—no tools needed. The ball bearing ensures butter-smooth opening and closing .

A: The Kasho Green Series Offset Shear is available in 5.0 inches, 5.5 inches, 6.0 inches, and 7.0 inches .
Q: Is the 7.0-inch Green Series Offset Shear good for barbers?
A: Yes. The 7.0-inch Green Series Offset Shear is a real favorite with barbers since it is the go-to tool for scissor-over-comb cutting . The longer blade length makes cutting long hair, blunt cuts, and layering easier and faster because it takes more hair per cut .
Q: Does the Kasho Green Series Offset Shear come with a DLC coating option?
A: Yes. The Green Series 7.0-inch Offset Shear is available with a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that displays properties similar to those of natural diamond, including hardness, wear resistance, and reduced friction . The DLC coating is optional and provides extra durability and super-smooth operation .
