Personal observation: I've used Kasho scissors thoughout my career and the difference in precision is immediately noticeable compared to lesser brands. What's impressive is how they maintain their edge through countless cuts - I've worked with a pair for nearly three years of daily use before needing servicing. The hand-forging process really does create a superior cutting edge that glides through hair without pushing or folding strands. They're definitely an investment, but when you consider the reduced hand strain and the perfect cuts they deliver, they're worth every penny for serious stylists who depend on their tools all day.
