Lifetime Warranty

Enjoy total peace of mind with a lifetime warranty on every pair of Akito Scissors.

Akito Scissors are built to high standards of precision, durability, and cutting performance. We obsess over the details so you can focus on the work - and because we have complete confidence in every pair, we back all Akito Scissors with a lifetime warranty.

What the Lifetime Warranty Covers

Our lifetime warranty protects your Akito Scissors against manufacturing defects and part replacements.

You’ll receive:

Free inspections if you encounter any issues, helping your scissors maintain peak performance (excluding shipping costs)
Free replacement of parts

Is Damage Covered?

User-caused damage isn’t covered under the lifetime warranty.

But we’ll still help - with:

Free damage inspections to assess and diagnose the issue
Complimentary repair attempts when possible (without sharpening)
Clear guidance and recommendations on the best options for repair

What Voids the Warranty?

Nothing.

No matter what, we will always provide free replacement parts and free inspections for all Akito Scissors (excluding shipping costs), so you’re supported for the lifetime of your tools.

Why Sharpeners Are Important

Japanese blades demand expert care. Experienced sharpeners understand how to work with Japanese steel, using the correct tools and techniques to maintain performance and protect the edge. Many general sharpeners don’t have this specialist knowledge, which can lead to damage or shorten the lifespan of your scissors.

For optimal care, we recommend using certified Akito sharpeners. If you need help finding a certified Akito sharpener, email hello@akitoscissors.com.

Note: If your Akito Scissors need sharpening, email hello@akitoscissors.com to schedule a service. If they’ve been improperly sharpened and damaged, contact us for support.

Need a Parts Replacement?

If you need a part replacement or fitting, email hello@akitoscissors.com and a member of our team will help by sending a replacement part or arranging for your scissors to be sent to us.
