Although Kasho produce more expensive hairdressing scissors than other manufacturers, you can be assured that their suberb build quality, precise balance, and long lasting sharpness are certainly worthy of their high-end price tag. Their worldwide reputation is definitely justified. With the new SlideCut scissors, KASHO is placing a special focus on its own tradition, which primarily is shaped by the swordsmanship of the Japanese Samurai. The technically innovative functionality of these scissors is inspired by the ultimate sharpness and cutting performance of samurai swords and thus creates the perfect combination of a flowing drawing and cutting movement. The unique design – completed by a micro ball bearing system- allows an extremely sharp and precise cut. Due to the elaborate manufacturing process in Japan, these scissors are limited to 100 pieces per year. By this, the operating principle of the KASHO SlideCut differs from conventional scissors, where the hair is only cut by the blades sliding past each other during the closing process. The KASHO SlideCut reproduces an incomparable cutting movement: A simultaneous pulling and cutting is combined with the until now rigid closing principle of scissors. Guided by a special micro ball bearing system, the scissors move as if on rails during the cutting process. With this effective design, the upper blade moves forward during opening and retracts to its original position during closing, which gives the closing process a real cutting experience. The result is fatigue-free work and a particularly precise and sharp cut, even on dry hair. Each pair of Kasho scissors is created by a highly skilled craftsman (or "shisho") working in the proud tradition and to the impeccable standards of the Japanese Samurai sword smith. Combine this with Kasho's careful design and engineering and their use of advanced materials and heat-treatment technology and you have a recipe for a truly high quality scissor.

Kasho scissors incorporate two different stainless steel alloys. This means that scissors in the Kasho range can meet the very high Japanese quality demands for sharpness and material. By combining differing hardness grades, Kasho hairdressing scissors are perfectly balanced and the cutting edge is exceptionally durable. It is this property that leads to the unique “Ultimate Edge”. Kasho scissor blades guarantee that they are both a pleasure to use and provide a very accurate cut.As you'd expect from a high quality scissor, every pair of Kasho scissors is supplied with optimal tension settings. However, these do occasionally need to be readjusted to maintain cutting edge durability and ensure that hands are not overworked. To that end, the Ivory, Green and Design Master series scissors all come with tension-adjustable screws to make readjustment as simple as possible.
