KAI's Japanese hair-scissor brand; the steel, handle and tension system differ by series.
Kasho is a KAI hair-scissor brand dating to 1984. The maker's current US listings illustrate why model specifications need to be checked one pair at a time.
Compare Kasho with another brandKASHO is a professional hair-scissor brand of KAI. KAI’s brand history dates KASHO to 1984 and describes it as a Japanese scissor range. KAI’s 1908 corporate founding is not KASHO’s launch date. Its Kasho brochure explains the range, while current stock and options need checking with a seller.
The current KAI USA Kasho catalogue gives model-specific specifications. For example, its Design Master KDMT38 page identifies a 6.0-inch, 38-tooth texturizing model, specifies 440C, and lists a ratchet flat-head tension screw. Its Millennium KML65OSBLK page identifies a 6.5-inch cutting model using SG2 with a disc operating system and DLC finish. These examples do not establish the steel or mechanism of every Kasho shear. Availability is a seller and market question.
KAI’s brochure explains its blade construction in general terms, while the individual product sheets supply the details that matter when comparing pairs. Match the exact model code, cutting or thinning purpose, length, handedness and pivot before drawing a conclusion from the series name.
Check the current catalogue for your market and ask the seller to confirm price, stock, returns and sharpening arrangements. Model sheets do not establish a common edge-life interval or market-wide price tier, and the right size and handle depend on your hand and cutting work.
