Kasho Design Master 8-Tooth Chunking Scissors

Kasho Design Master 8T is an eight-tooth chunker documented in the brand’s regional catalogs. The New Zealand listing identifies a 6-inch offset model, VG-10W and a ratchet screw. Compare the exact regional offer and intended texture; an eight-tooth count does not establish a removal percentage or make it interchangeable with finer blenders.

Exact regional model evidence

The Kasho NZ listing, operated by the stated official distributor Progressive Salon Supplies, names KDMT8, a 6-inch offset chunker with eight teeth. Its copy uses both a 6-inch model size and blade-length wording. This record retains the nominal size without treating that wording as a separately measured blade length.

Kasho Connect’s US listing independently includes the 8 Tooth Chunker among 15-, 30- and 38-tooth options. Its public variant data identifies store SKU 04-001082 at USD 440 on 30 September 2026. That dated US offer is separate from the NZ store’s currency and checkout terms. An orderable flag does not establish current factory output.

The exact chunker photograph comes from that US product listing. The pictured tooth layout helps identify the catalog presentation; request photos of the actual tool for a used or differently coded offer.

Material, finish and adjustment

Both reviewed regional listings name VG-10W; neither supports the inherited 440C assignment. Kasho Connect also publishes 60–61 HRC in the shared texturizer listing. That is a distributor hardness statement covering its listed options, not a test certificate for every eight-tooth pair. The pages give no complete chemistry or independently established VG-10 equivalence.

Both regional listings describe a ratchet screw; the NZ account additionally names a spring mechanism. Use the click-dial and ratchet reference to separate indexed adjustment from a universal adjustment procedure. Ask which tool and check apply to the delivered pair.

Finish needs version-specific confirmation. The regional product copy uses satin language, while the European Design Master page separately calls its texturizers mirror polished. That European page lists 15-, 30- and 38-tooth texturizers; it does not establish that the eight-tooth regional option has disappeared or that its finish is identical. A supplier photo alone cannot resolve the catalog wording.

Choosing and maintaining a chunker

Eight widely spaced teeth are useful identification details for this chunking option. The reviewed listing gives no numeric cut ratio, tooth contact width or guarantee about a finished section. Compare it with finer texturizers through an actual demonstration and explain the intended texture to the supplier. Do not derive aggressiveness or a gentler finish solely from the number on another model.

Kasho’s care guidance calls for wiping blades after use, daily tension checks and daily pivot lubrication, with sharpening and repair directed to Kasho technicians. Follow the exact model instructions and stop using nicked blades. The tension-system label does not provide a fixed sharpening interval or a universal parts diagram.

The existing retailer entry retains its historical check date. Confirm the complete model, included accessories, return terms and service route before ordering. See the Kasho brand page for related catalog records.
