Ergo X Offset Handle

Designed with ergonomics at its core, the Ergo X Offset Handle provides unparalleled comfort and total control during every cut. Its thoughtful design minimises strain on your hand and wrist, helping to prevent career-impacting injuries like RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, even during extended use.

Convex Edge

The convex edge, carefully honed by master artisans, offers a seamlessly smooth and effortless cut. Known for its razor-sharp precision, this edge design enhances your control and reduces drag, allowing you to glide through hair with ease. This professional-grade edge is a favourite among hairstylists for its clean, precision cuts.

Ball Bearing System

The advanced Gen. 5 Ball Bearing Tension System revolutionises cutting smoothness by eliminating unwanted tension and pressure build-up. By reducing friction, this system not only makes each cut feel fluid and light but also helps protect your hand from strain, greatly lowering the risk of long-term injuries.

3D Thumb Design

Offering complete freedom of movement, the 3D Thumb Design allows for a wider range of cutting angles and grip positions, making it ideal for a variety of techniques and styles. This unique design gives you the flexibility to transition effortlessly between positions, helping you work more naturally and with greater precision.

Meticulously Handmade

Each pair of scissors is made by master craftsmen with an exceptional level of care and detail. With a deep commitment to quality, every scissor is carefully inspected and refined to meet the highest standards, ensuring an exceptional tool that performs consistently and beautifully in professional settings.

Akito Scissors are designed to the highest standards of quality, precision, and durability, ensuring every pair delivers outstanding cutting performance. With an unwavering focus on detail, we have complete confidence in the reliability of every scissor, which is why we provide a lifetime warranty—unlike other brands that typically offer only one or two years.

What Does the Lifetime Warranty Cover?

The Lifetime Warranty safeguards your Akito Scissors against any manufacturing defects.

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

Is Damage Covered?

User-caused damage isn’t covered under the Lifetime Warranty, but we offer:

• Free damage inspections to assess and diagnose issues.
• Complimentary repair attempts when possible, without sharpening.
• Guidance and recommendations on the best options for any repairs needed.

What Voids the Lifetime Warranty?

Sharpening by a non-certified sharpener voids the warranty. However, we still provide replacement parts for all Akito Scissors, even if they have been serviced by non-certified sharpeners.

Why Certified Sharpeners are important

Our certified sharpeners have extensive experience working with Japanese blades, using advanced techniques and tools. Many other sharpeners lack this expertise, which can result in damage or shorten the scissors’ lifespan. For optimal care, only certified Akito sharpeners should service your scissors.
