Warranty

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

Akito scissors are made to exacting standards of precision, durability and cutting performance. We pay close attention to every detail so you can concentrate on your work - and because we stand behind every pair, all Akito scissors are supported for life.

What the lifetime warranty covers

The Akito lifetime warranty protects your scissors against manufacturing defects and includes ongoing support with replacement parts.

You will receive:

• Lifetime cover against manufacturing defects
• Free replacement parts where required
• Free inspections if you experience a problem
• Support diagnosing issues affecting normal performance
• Clear advice on the most suitable repair or service options

Inspections and replacement parts are provided free of charge, although shipping costs are not included.

Support for accidental or user-caused damage

Accidental damage, misuse and other user-caused damage are not covered as manufacturing defects under the lifetime warranty.

However, we will still do everything reasonably possible to help.

Support includes:

• Free inspection and diagnosis of the damage
• Complimentary repair attempts where possible
• Advice on the most appropriate repair options
• Help arranging replacement parts
• Guidance on professional sharpening or servicing

Complimentary repair attempts do not include sharpening, and some damage may not be repairable.

Does anything void the warranty?

No. Your Akito scissors remain supported for life.

Damage caused by misuse, accidents, alterations or incorrect sharpening is not covered as a manufacturing defect. However, you can still access free inspections and replacement-part support, excluding shipping costs.

Specialist sharpening matters

Akito scissor blades require specialist knowledge, equipment and techniques. Incorrect sharpening can alter the blade profile, damage the cutting edge and reduce the working life of your scissors.

For the best care, we recommend using a certified Akito sharpener or another experienced professional.

For help finding a suitable sharpener or arranging a service, email hello@akitoscissors.com.

If your scissors have already been incorrectly sharpened or damaged, contact our team. We will inspect the issue and advise you on the best available options.

Replacement parts and fitting

If you need a replacement part, email hello@akitoscissors.com with details of the issue and your scissors.

Depending on the part and repair required, we can:

• Send the replacement part directly to you
• Help identify the correct component
• Provide fitting guidance
• Arrange for your scissors to be returned to us
• Attempt to fit or repair the part where appropriate
