Kasho Damascus Series 5.5" Offset Scissor

For centuries, Japan's Master Smiths have fashioned blades from alternating layers of steel, each little thicker than a human hair. This superb technique, known in the West as Damascus forging, gives each blade its hallmark strength and intricately graceful patterning. Each piece in Kasho's Damascus Series is perfectly crafted, yet beautifully individual. The blades are crafted from eight layers of premium V10 cobalt alloy steel, resulting in ultimate sharpness and extremely powerful cutting. Thanks to hand-finishing, the unique Damascus patterning promises a one-of-a-kind scissor. And, with Kasho's clever ball bearing system integrated with Flat Screw technology, every cut is always silky smooth. 


In its modern form, Damascus steel is an alloy consisting of multiple visible layers produced in combination with a core steel. The base material used for the production of modern Damascus steel derives from steels with various contents of accompanying elements. The combination of steel grades with contrasting properties allows the production of particularly hard and at the same time flexible steels

These are available in 5.5" and 6" blade helping you find the perfect balance and size.

Care Instructions

Wipe the blades after every use using a Kasho leather cloth, keep your scissors clean and hair free. Clean blades retain their edge and shine for longer. The scissors are designed for smooth, sharp cutting and do not require any unnecessary force or pressure. Lubricate the pivot daily with a Kasho oil pen. It helps to keep the cutting action smooth. Avoid contact with sterilisation liquid and perm or colour solution as these can corrode your scissors. Always store your scissors with the blades closed and in a case or holder to keep them safe from dirt and damage when storing or transporting. Check the scissor tension on a daily basis. It's easy to adjust and a smoother cut reduces wear and tear. When cutting hair, try to avoid clipping the scissors on combs or slides as it may scratch or nick your blades. Only our Kasho technicians should sharpen or repair your tools. Precision engineering requires precision servicing.
