About
The Sasa Blending shears are designed for exquisitely smooth wet or dry fine cutting. The teeth feature a new step-down design where the notch at the end releases the hair after cutting. The base of the teeth step-down smaller to leave more room for the uncut hair to slide smoothly through when you pull the shears out, which means less chance of pulling or snagging the hair. Forged from high carbon VG-10W Japanese steel, the convex blades have a beautiful mirror polish.

FAQ - Kasho Green Series SASA 6.0" 38T Blending Shear
Q: What is the Kasho Green Series SASA 6.0" 38T Blending Shear used for?
A: This shear is a professional blending and texturizing tool designed for exquisitely smooth wet or dry fine cutting. It is ideal for adding texture, blending weight lines, softening harsh lines, and creating volume without leaving visible cut marks. The name "SASA" means "bamboo leaf" in Japanese, referring to the wider blades with a more rounded profile .
Q: How many teeth does the SASA 38T have and what type of blending does it perform?
A: The shear features 38 teeth on the comb blade and is designed for fine blending. The 38-tooth configuration removes approximately 30-40% of the hair per cut, making it ideal for detailed texturizing work, softening, and seamless blending without harsh lines .
Q: What is the "step-down" teeth design and why is it important?
A: The SASA 38T features a patented step-down teeth design where the notch at the end of each tooth releases the hair after cutting. The base of the teeth steps down to a smaller size, creating more room for uncut hair to slide smoothly through when pulling the shears out. This innovative design significantly reduces the chance of pulling or snagging the hair during cutting, ensuring a smooth, tangle-free experience for both stylist and client .
Q: What steel is used in the Kasho SASA 38T Blending Shear?
A: The SASA 38T 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 state-of-the-art characteristics, including superior resistance to corrosion and wear. The steel stays sharper for much longer, meaning less time spent resharpening .
Q: What blade design does the SASA 38T feature?
A: The shear features convex/hollow-ground blades with a beautiful mirror polish finish. The convex blade geometry provides an exceptionally sharp cutting edge, while the mirror polish (made possible by higher chromium content) helps protect against corrosion like rust. The curved blade design makes precision texturizing effortless .
Q: Is the SASA 38T suitable for dry cutting?
A: Yes. The SASA 38T is specifically designed for exquisitely smooth wet or dry fine cutting. The convex blades, combined with the innovative step-down teeth design, allow for effortless slide cutting and dry cutting, making it versatile for all texturizing techniques .
Q: What handle design does the SASA 38T have?
A: The SASA 38T features a semi-offset handle design (also referred to as offset). This ergonomic handle reduces overextension of the thumb, promoting a more comfortable grip and an open hand position that reduces hand fatigue during extended cutting sessions. The shears also feature a removable finger rest/tang that can be easily taken off or reinstalled according to stylist preference .
Q: What pivot system does the Kasho SASA 38T use?
A: The shear features a tension-adjustable screw system with an integrated ball bearing. This system allows stylists to fine-tune the cutting tension for ultimate precision with just a twist to the left or right. The ball bearing ensures silky-smooth operation and helps maintain consistent tension during use .
Q: Is the SASA 38T available in single comb or double comb?
A: The SASA series is available in both configurations. The single comb version (this model) has one blade with teeth and one straight blade, typically used for finer blending and texturizing. The double comb version has teeth on both blades for heavier thinning and volume reduction .
Q: What is the length of the SASA 38T Blending Shear?
A: The SASA 38T has a length of 6.0 inches. This is the standard length for this texturizing model, offering good control and maneuverability for detailed blending work .
Q: What is the warranty for the Kasho SASA 38T?
A: Every pair of Kasho Green SASA shears is backed by Kasho's Lifetime Warranty. Additionally, the first sharpening is FREE when performed by authorized Kasho technicians. This provides stylists with confidence in their long-term investment .
Q: Where are Kasho Green SASA shears manufactured?
A: Kasho Green SASA shears are handcrafted in Japan. Kasho is a brand under the Kai Corporation (est. 1908), a Tokyo-based company with over a century of blade-making expertise. Each pair is meticulously hand-honed, assembled, and set by a "Shujin" master, blending integrated manufacturing with skillful workmanship passed through generations of Japanese Samurai sword smithies .
Q: What is the approximate price of the Kasho SASA 38T Single Comb?
A: Pricing varies by retailer and region: approximately $760-$807 USD, $1,500 CAD, and around €915 EUR (Europe) .
