FAQs
What makes the Damascus ball bearing system special?
The Damascus ball bearing system is integrated into the pivot, designed to create an exceptionally smooth, 'silky' cutting action with minimal friction, enhancing control and reducing hand fatigue.
How do I adjust the tension on these scissors?
The Kasho Sagano Series uses flat screw technology for tension adjustment. You can typically use a tension key or a small screwdriver to turn the screw slightly clockwise to tighten or counter-clockwise to loosen. It's recommended to make small adjustments and test the cutting feel. If unsure, consult a professional scissor technician.
What is the benefit of the offset handle design?
The offset handle design positions the thumb ring slightly forward, allowing for a more natural and relaxed hand and wrist position. This ergonomic feature helps reduce strain and fatigue during prolonged use.
Can I use these scissors for thinning or texturizing?
While primarily designed for precision cutting, the sharp, finely honed blades can be used for basic texturizing techniques. For specialized thinning or notching, specific texturizing shears are generally recommended.
How often should I oil my Kasho scissors?
It is recommended to oil your scissors daily or at least every few uses. Apply a small drop of quality scissor oil to the pivot screw and work the blades gently. Wipe off any excess.
What kind of steel is used in the Sagano Series?
The Sagano Series is constructed using a superb steel alloy, known for its durability, strength, and ability to hold a sharp edge.
Troubleshooting
Scissor feels stiff or difficult to open/close.
Apply a drop of scissor oil to the pivot area and work the blades back and forth. If stiffness persists, the tension may need adjustment by a professional.
Cutting is not clean or is 'chewing' hair.
Ensure the blades are clean and properly oiled. Check the scissor tension; it might be too loose or too tight. If the issue continues, the blades may need sharpening by a professional.
Finger rest feels uncomfortable.
Ensure you are holding the scissor with the curved finger rest supporting your finger in a relaxed grip. While designed for comfort, personal hand anatomy may require a slight adjustment in grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These scissors are ready for use upon arrival. The flat screw technology allows for tension adjustment. Consult a professional if unsure about setting the optimal tension for your cutting style. Ensure the scissor is clean before first use.
Compatibility: The 6.0-inch size is a versatile standard for most professional stylists. Compatibility is primarily with the user's technique and preference for offset handles.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove hair and product residue. A specialized scissor cleaner can be used for stubborn build-up.
- Oiling: Apply a drop of high-quality scissor oil to the pivot area regularly (daily or weekly, depending on usage) and open and close the blades several times to distribute the oil. Wipe away excess oil.
- Storage: Store the scissors in a protective case or sheath when not in use to prevent damage to the blades and maintain hygiene.
- Avoid: Do not drop the scissors, as this can damage the blades and affect alignment. Avoid cutting materials other than hair, as this can dull the blades.
