FAQ - Kasho Millennium Series 6.5" Offset Shear

Q: What is the Kasho Millennium Series 6.5" Offset Shear used for?
A: The Kasho Millennium Series 6.5" Offset Shear is a professional hairdressing shear designed for precision cutting techniques. It is ideal for stylists who prefer a longer shear for techniques like scissor-over-comb, while remaining agile enough for detailed work . It is considered the top-of-the-line shear in Kasho's lineup and the #1 choice for some of the world's top stylists .

Q: What steel is used in the Millennium 6.5" Offset Shear?
A: The Millennium shear is made from SG2 (Super Gold 2) sintered steel . This is a premium powder-metallurgical steel produced through a process called sintering, where powdered steel is fused under enormous heat and pressure . The result is metal of unmatched durability and purity that bonds on the molecular level and is extremely resistant to abrasion .

Q: What is the blade design of the Millennium 6.5" Offset Shear?
A: The Millennium shear features the signature "samurai sword" blade design – a sword/hollow ground upper blade combined with a convex/hollow ground lower blade . This design provides precise, powerful cutting performance to handle creative styling techniques .

Q: What pivot system do the Millennium shears use?
A: The Millennium shears feature Kasho's patented Disc Operation System (also called Closed Disc Operation System) . This system consists of an enclosed ball bearing unit that ensures perfectly even movement and uniform pressure with every open and close . The enclosed design prevents hair, dust, dirt, or chemicals from getting inside, and no oiling is required .

Q: What are the ergonomic features of the 6.5" Offset Shear?
A: The 6.5" Offset features an ergonomic offset handle design that provides an intuitive grip and reduces hand fatigue during extended cutting sessions . The smooth operation of the mirror-polished blades reduces cutting resistance to a minimum, which in turn reduces hand fatigue . The shear also features a removable ergonomic finger rest (tang) that can be easily removed or reinstalled as preferred .

Q: Does the Millennium 6.5" Offset Shear have a DLC coating option?
A: Yes. The Millennium 6.5" Offset is available in both standard mirror polish finish and a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating version . The DLC coating adds hardness, wear resistance, reduces friction, and provides a beautiful matte black finish .

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

Q: What is the warranty for the Millennium Shear?
A: Every pair of Millennium shears is backed by Kasho's Lifetime Warranty .

Q: Where are Kasho Millennium shears manufactured?
A: Kasho Millennium shears are handcrafted in Japan .

Q: What is the price of the Kasho Millennium 6.5" Offset Shear?
A: The Millennium 6.5" Offset Shear is a premium professional tool. Pricing varies by retailer and currency: approximately $1,520–$1,770 USD , £995–£1,100 GBP , and €879 EUR (for the similar XP series) . The DLC coated version is typically priced at the higher end of the range.

Q: What are the available sizes in the Millennium Series?
A: The Millennium Series is available in multiple sizes: Offset handles – 5.5", 6.0", and 6.5"; Straight handles – 5.3", 5.8", and 6.2" .

Q: What is the weight of the Millennium 6.5" Offset Shear?
A: The Millennium shear is incredibly lightweight. The 6.5" offset model weighs approximately 0.171 grams . The lightweight design contributes to reduced hand fatigue during extended cutting sessions .

Pro tip for your listing: The Millennium Series is Kasho's flagship shear – the one that top stylists choose when only the best will do . The key differentiator is the SG2 sintered steel, which is produced through a unique powder-metallurgy process that creates metal of exceptional purity and durability . This steel cannot be machined after forging, which speaks to the precision of the initial manufacturing process .

The Disc Operation System is another major selling point – it's an enclosed ball bearing system that prevents contamination and eliminates the need for oiling, while providing the smoothest operation of any shear . This system also extends the shear's lifespan considerably compared to conventional models .

The 6.5-inch length is ideal for stylists who frequently use scissor-over-comb techniques or prefer a longer shear for cutting larger sections . For stylists who want the ultimate in performance and durability, the Millennium Series is the clear choice. The optional DLC coating adds even more value with increased hardness, wear resistance, and a stunning matte black finish
