Q: What is the Kasho KXP Series 6.5" Offset Crane used for?
A: The Kasho KXP Series 6.5" Offset Crane is a professional hairdressing shear designed for precision cutting techniques. The "Xtreme Perfection" (XP) series combines features from Kasho's acclaimed Green Series with the unique Disc Operation System of the Millennium Series . The 6.5-inch length is ideal for scissor-over-comb techniques, larger section cutting, and stylists who prefer a longer shear .

Q: What does "Crane" refer to in the product name?
A: "Crane" refers to the offset handle design with a distinctive curved finger rest shape that resembles a crane's neck. This ergonomic design promotes a natural hand position, reducing tension on the hand, wrist, and shoulder during extended cutting sessions .

Q: What steel is used in the Kasho KXP Series?
A: The KXP Series is forged from genuine Japanese VG-10 stainless steel . VG-10 is a high-carbon stainless steel alloy known for its high durability, hardness, and excellent edge retention .

Q: What is the blade design of the KXP Shear?
