FAQ - Kasho Green Series SASA 6.0" Offset Shear

Q: What is the Kasho Green Series SASA 6.0" Offset Shear used for?
A: The Kasho Green Series SASA 6.0" Offset Shear is a professional hairdressing shear specifically designed for superior slide cutting and dry cutting. The name "SASA" means "bamboo leaf" in Japanese, referring to the wider blades with a more rounded profile that make these shears ideal for slide cutting and dry cutting techniques .

Q: What makes the SASA blades different from standard shears?
A: The SASA Series features "bamboo leaf-shaped" blades—slightly wider, with a more rounded profile . This unique shape and slightly heavier weight allow the shear to use its own weight to glide through hair during slide cuts, making the cutting process faster, easier, and more precise . This design is specifically engineered to help stylists achieve the most successful slide cuts .

Q: What steel is used in the Green Series SASA 6.0" Offset Shear?
A: The SASA 6.0" Offset Shear is forged from premium Japanese VG-10W high-carbon stainless steel . This steel alloy is variously 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 is the blade design of the SASA 6.0" Offset Shear?
A: The shear features convex/hollow-ground blades with a beautiful mirror-polished finish . The convex blade geometry provides a super-sharp, exceptionally 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 SASA 6.0" Offset Shear have?
A: The shear features a semi-offset handle design (also referred to as offset) . 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 handle strikes a perfect balance between the two most popular handle styles .

Q: What pivot system does the Kasho SASA 6.0" Offset Shear 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: Does the SASA 6.0" Offset Shear have a removable finger rest?
A: Yes. The Green SASA shears have an easy-to-remove, easy-to-reinstall tang (finger rest) . This allows stylists to customize the shear to their comfort preference.

Q: What is the Rockwell hardness of the SASA 6.0" Offset Shear?
A: The SASA 6.0" Offset Shear has a Rockwell hardness of 60-61 HRC , ensuring long-term blade sharpness and durability.

Q: What is the length of the Kasho SASA 6.0" Offset Shear?
A: The shear has a length of 6.0 inches . This is the most popular length for hair scissors in the US and is considered the most versatile length, usable with almost any type of hair cutting technique .

Q: Is the SASA 6.0" Offset Shear right-handed or left-handed?
A: The Kasho Green Series SASA 6.0" Offset Shear is designed for right-handed use .

Q: What is the finish of the SASA 6.0" Offset Shear?
A: The shear features a mirror-polished finish . The higher chromium content in the steel allows Kasho to put a bright mirror polish on these shears to help protect against corrosion (like rust) .

Q: What is the warranty for the Kasho Green Series SASA 6.0" Offset Shear?
A: The Green SASA shears are backed by Kasho's Lifetime Warranty, and the first sharpening is FREE when performed by authorized Kasho technicians .

Q: Where are Kasho Green Series SASA shears manufactured?
A: Kasho Green Series SASA shears are handcrafted in Japan . 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 makes the Green Series special within Kasho's lineup?
A: The Green Series personifies Kasho's design philosophy where form and function balance effortlessly. All Green Series shears offer hallmark mirror-polishing and powerful convex blades . They share clever ergonomic styling, including semi-offset handles for natural grip, an adjustable ball bearing screw system for precision tension control, and a removable tang for customizable comfort .

Q: Is the SASA 6.0" Offset Shear good for dry cutting?
A: Yes. The Green Series SASA 6.0" Offset Shears are specially designed for superior slide cutting and dry cutting . The wider bamboo leaf-shaped blades and convex/hollow-ground geometry make dry cutting faster and easier
