Frequently Asked Questions
What is ATS-314 steel?
ATS-314 is a high-cobalt Japanese steel alloy (1.2-1.3% carbon, 15% chromium, 1.1% molybdenum, 1.5% cobalt, 0.1% vanadium) produced by Hitachi/Proterial. At 61-62 HRC it is harder than VG-10 and 440C and holds an edge noticeably longer under heavy daily use.
What does 3D convex mean?
A 3D convex edge is ground on three planes rather than two, creating a thinner, sharper blade edge. On the Sword the geometry is paired with an angled sword-blade profile that funnels cutting power to the tips, which is what lets it slice through wet or dry hair with minimal pushing force.
What is the Glide Feature tension dial?
The Glide Feature is Kamisori's proprietary ball-bearing tension dial. The bearings eliminate friction at the pivot, which delivers the silent kinetic action that makes this scissor a go-to for session work and editorial photo shoots where blade noise is a problem.
Is a 20-25 year lifespan realistic?
The lifespan estimate assumes standard professional care: daily oiling, proper storage, no cutting of non-hair materials, and sharpening by a technician experienced with 3D convex edges every 6-12 months. The ATS-314 alloy and multi-award-winning geometry are the structural basis, but sharpening maintenance is the variable — improper flat-wheel sharpening will shorten service life significantly.
