Kasho Damascus Black Offset Hair Cutting Scissors

Description

There are working shears, and there are shears that say something about the barber holding them. The Damascus Black is Kasho’s flagship statement piece — eight micro-layers of black Damascus steel folded over a VG-10 cutting core, hand-finished so that every pair carries its own grain pattern. On a backbar full of chrome, it is unmistakable.

The performance backs up the looks. The hollow-ground blades create a minimal contact line, so the shear glides closed with barely any resistance — the feel barbers describe as “cutting air.” That suits the precision end of men’s work: crisp blunt perimeters on scissor cuts, controlled slide cutting through the top, and clean detail work where a sticky pivot would telegraph into the line. The flat screw and ball-bearing assembly let you set tension precisely and trust it to stay put through a full week of cuts.

VG-10 is the steel Kasho built its reputation on: hard enough (58-60 HRC) to hold a refined edge through commercial volume, tough enough to survive it. Choose 5.5” for freehand precision or 6.0” if you want one shear to stretch into light over-comb work.

For a shop owner or senior barber marking a milestone — first shop, ten years on the tools — this is the heirloom-grade option.
