FAQ - Kasho Sagano Series 7.0" Offset Shear

Q: What is the Kasho Sagano Series 7.0" Offset Shear used for?
A: The Kasho Sagano Series 7.0" Offset Shear is a professional hairdressing shear designed for stylists who prefer a longer blade length. The 7.0-inch size is ideal for scissor-over-comb techniques, cutting larger sections of hair, and accommodating stylists with larger hands . It provides more leverage and can cut more hair in a single stroke compared to shorter shears .

Q: What steel is used in the Sagano 7.0" Offset Shear?
A: The Sagano Series blades are forged from Japanese ATS-314 stainless steel . This premium alloy contains high levels of cobalt, titanium, and vanadium, which gives the steel exceptional performance characteristics. The blades stay sharper longer, requiring less frequent sharpening, and offer superior resistance to corrosion and wear .

Q: What is the blade design of the Sagano 7.0" Offset Shear?
A: The Sagano Series features the signature "samurai sword" blade design – a sword/hollow ground upper blade combined with a convex/hollow ground lower blade . The blades are mirror polished, fully convex, and finely honed with Kasho's "Ultimate Edge" for precision cutting . This design provides the cutting power to handle creative styling techniques .

Q: What pivot system do the Sagano shears use?
A: The Sagano shears feature Kasho's adjustable flat head screw system with integrated ball bearings (often called the "Damascus ball bearing system") . The system includes a ceramic inlay of the KASHO logo as an elegant visual touch . This sophisticated system ensures silky-smooth operation and requires no oiling, though tension can be adjusted using the included tension key tool .

Q: Are Sagano shears ergonomic?
A: Yes. The Sagano Series features an ergonomic offset handle design with a camelback shape and a traditionally forged curved finger rest (finger notch) . This design promotes a natural hand position, reducing tension and wear on the hand, wrist, and shoulder during extended use .

Q: Is the Sagano 7.0" Offset Shear right-handed or left-handed?
A: The Kasho Sagano Series is designed for right-handed use .

Q: What is the finish of the Sagano 7.0" Offset Shear?
A: The standard Sagano Series features a mirror-polished finish . The high chromium content allows a bright mirror polish that helps protect against corrosion . The mirror polish is complemented by a ceramic inlay of the Kasho logo for an elegant touch .

Q: Is there a Black Edition of the Sagano 7.0" Offset Shear?
A: Yes. Kasho offers the Sagano Black Edition which features a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating over the same high-quality Sagano base . The DLC coating provides extreme hardness, high corrosion resistance, low friction (for an even smoother cutting experience), and reliable protection against allergies and resistance to chemical compounds . The Black Edition is available in 7.0" size as well .

Q: What is the warranty for Kasho Sagano shears?
A: Every pair of Sagano shears is backed by Kasho's Lifetime Warranty, and the first sharpening is free .

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

Q: How is the Sagano Series positioned within Kasho's lineup?
A: The Sagano Series combines the best features from across Kasho's product lines: the Samurai Sword blade design from the Millennium series, the ball-bearing screw system from the Damascus series, the ergonomic offset handle from the Silver series, and the powerful leaf-blade properties from the Green series .
