In a history dating back over 90 years, the KAI group, based in Tokyo, is renowned for its superbly functional, incisive and durable cutting tools and related products.
These traits have positioned KAI's products among the worlds best. The common denominator - quality and perfection - is based on the centuries-old tradition and culture of the Japanese Samurai sword smithy. :: KASHO - THE SYMBOL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP KASHO SCISSORS feature two different stainless steel alloys in order to meet the high Japanese quality demands for sharpness and material. The combination of different hardness grades means that every pair of scissors is perfectly balanced and guarantees that the cutting edge is exceptionally durable. The unique “Ultimate Edge” KASHO scissor blades guarantee that they are a pleasure to work with and cut accurately. The unique manufacturing process ensures the necessary precision of the concave inner surfaces (hollow ground) and convex outer surfaces of the scissor blades. The convex-edged scissor blades are characterised by their exceptionally durable cutting edge. These blades are honed to an extremely sharp state with the inner side hollowed to such a point that the blades only touch at the point of intersection. This refined technology ensures superb cutting edge durability, while at the same time reducing cutting edge resistance to a minimum and thus considerably limiting hand fatigue. Every pair of KASHO scissors is supplied with optimal tension settings: these do, however, occasionally need to be checked and readjusted as required, to ensure the durability of the cutting edge and to guarantee healthy ease of use. Most KASHO scissors are therefore fitted with a tension adjustable screw to ease readjustment. The patented Disc Operation Systems ensures that the KASHO Millennium and XP Series are always perfectly tensioned.
