Where this sits
In YOSHI's cutting scissors lineup the YOSHI Damascus Hairdressing Scissors occupies the premium tier, priced above the YOSHI Dragon Art Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The YOSHI Damascus is a 6.0” cutting scissor built from 16 layers of steel, with ATS-314 Hitachi steel as the final cutting layer. ATS-314 is a high-chromium, high-carbon stainless steel from Hitachi Metals, widely used in Japanese hairdressing scissors for its edge retention and corrosion resistance.
The layered Damascus construction produces a patterned finish on the blade face. The cutting geometry is convex, ground to a smooth arc edge rather than a hollow or flat bevel.
