Where this sits
In Kasho's cutting scissors lineup the Kasho Ivory Offset Hair Cutting Scissors occupies the mid-range band, priced between the Kasho Impression Hair Cutting Scissors and the Kasho Ivory Straight Hair Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
Exact configuration and evidence date
The current U.S. maker kit page, checked 2 October 2026, identifies RC71062 as a kit containing KIV50OS, an oil pen and a case. Its shear specification names VG-10W, 5.0 inches, Offset, Japan origin and adjustable-screw tension; the description calls its blades hollow-ground convex and polished. Those fields belong to the named included shear. This product record is not converted into a kit offer, and the kit’s contents, price, stock wording and service terms are not assigned to every retained seller row.
The KAI-hosted catalog, whose issue date is unverified, separately lists KIV-45 OS, KIV-50 OS and KIV-55 OS at 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5 inches. A dated European promotion documents a limited KIV-55 OS edition for November–December 2020. Neither extends the current KIV50OS material field to every generation or establishes a 6.0-inch offset. The earlier three-size field and IVORYOFF placeholder are replaced by the exact currently recovered code; the wider historical configurations remain here for reconciliation.
Compare the actual offered pair
No reviewed exact record publishes 58–60 HRC or assigns DOS to these Ivory configurations. An adjustable screw does not establish an enclosed DOS mechanism, a bearing, tool-free adjustment or a performance advantage. Confirm the exact code and pair rather than a family-wide tier.
Follow Kasho’s care guidance and confirm service for the actual model, region and seller. The historical guide price, conversions, image/credit and seller check dates remain dated catalog context. The inherited official U.S. product URL returns generic home-page content rather than an exact Ivory specification; that response does not prove discontinuation or current availability.
Features
