Damascus

KASHO shears are custom ordered.  Please allow 7-10 days for delivery.

For the pinnacle of beauty and performance, choose our exciting Damascus series hair shears. KASHO’s Damascus is formed by layering different types of metal alloys together, then forging them into a single piece. The cutting core of the shears—the part that cuts hair—is premium VG-10W stainless steel for top performance and an incredibly long-lasting edge.

The beautiful, rippling patterns on the shears are created by 8 micro layers of Damascus steel on the outside of each blade. In Japan, this style of blademaking is known as kasumi, which means “mist,” because the exterior Damascus has a lovely, misty appearance.

These striking shears are handcrafted in Japan by our master artisans. The samurai sword-style/hollow-ground blades are precision sharpened by hand and the hair scissors are polished to bring out the Damascus patterning. Shear tension is perfected with an integrated ball-bearing system that ensures smooth operation. As a final, sophisticated touch, the Damascus series features a ceramic inlay of the KASHO logo on the tension screw.

Designed for right-handed use.
