Do the scissors have warranty? 

All Mizutani scissors are carefully crafted and inspected under strict guidelines both at the factory level and at the distributor level. Warranty coverage extends to all blade imperfections and must be reported within 7 days of using the scissors. 

Scissors will be sent back to the factory for inspection under microscope. All blade defects will be covered under factory warranty. 

What happens when my scissors are dull? 

The warranty coverage does not extend to natural wear and tear due to extended usage. Mizutani Canada recommends sending your scissors in for sharpening to any Mizutani retail location for maintenance. 

I dropped my scissors, now what? Who do you recommend to sharpen my scissors? 

If you would like your scissors to be serviced, Mizutani Canada recommends sending them into the factory for sharpening, balancing, alignment and polishing. Typically most users will send their scissors in every 1-1.5 years. (or as needed based on individual preference) 

Mizutani Canada recommends sharpening the scissors at the factory level with one of the 15 global authorized sharpeners to extend the warranty. Since Mizutani scissors are crafted in a unique way, traditional/universal sharpening-smiths and sharpening wheels may not be equipped to service Mizutani scissors and are subject to ‘over-grinding’ the edge of the blade.
