Bought their Samurai secateurs for £35…

Bought their Samurai secateurs for £35 on strength of reviews, not having heard of the company.
Having used them now on delicate herbs, tough stems and small branches, I am impressed by the ease of use and quality of construction.
I understand this is a small family outfit so I think, on the face of my purchase, they deserve support.

Thanks for the review and for taking a chance on us. Delicate herbs one minute and small branches the next is exactly the range the Samurai was built for, so good to hear it is holding up. Welcome to Kimura.

Never without my Kimura scissors in the gardens

The Kimura scissors are with me wherever and whenever I’m in my gardens. Excellent product. Sturdy for years of service ahead I’m sure. Excellent communication with the company. I’ll be a customer for life and hope to refer all my gardening friends to Kimura.

Very good shears but could be lighter

Very good shears but could be lighter, handles are a bit longer than I would have liked but they do the job cutting lawn edges and pruning shrubs and hedges. Since purchasing these I have recently bought a long handled pair for doing the lawn edging to save me bending down all the time as I am 67. I used them as soon as they arrived and on the whole I am pleased with them, however they could do with a rubber edge where the shears meet in the middle as they clank a bit and this would reduce the shock felt when cutting its the same on my other shears but they are really sharp also the extending handles I think could be a better ergonomic design to ease pain in the wrists but will persevere as they definitely made cutting the lawn edges easier.

Thank you for the considered review and for buying a second pair. The points on weight, handle length, a rubber bumper where the blades meet and the ergonomics of the extending handles are all useful and have been passed to the product team. Feedback from customers actually using the tools is the best input we get when planning the next version.

Excellent quality.

The shears are of excellent quality. Versatile and height
adjustable. Lightweight and super sharp. The best I have purchased in many years. I should have got them sooner.

Thanks for the kind review. The height adjustment was added to take some of the strain off the back, so good to hear it is working for you alongside the sharpness and the lightweight feel.

Best shears I've ever used. They cut through escalonia, box and all our shrubs like butter. Thank you!

Great Customer follow-up

I was very pleased to receive a gift for my birthday.
The gift was a new pair of Kimura garden-loppers.

Initially, I was very pleased with the loppers performance; however, unfortunately the blade snapped when pruning some shrub branches (on the first day).

Whether there was an imperfection in the blade, I can only guess, I do not know. Anyway, I contacted Kimura and was asked to send photographs of the blade failure, and they kindly offered to send me a replacement blade. I was informed that the blades were out of stock. After I number of months I still had not received a blade, nor a reply to my latest email requesting an expected delivery date.

After I followed up with Kimura again, I was delighted to receive a replacement.

So, although the process took approximately 6-months; Kimura did follow up on their pledge.

In my experience, Kimura provide great products with honourable follow-up to their Customers. THANK YOU Kimura!

Hi Graeme, thank you for the fair and honest review. A blade snapping on day one is not the experience we want anyone to have, and a six month wait for the replacement falls well short of where we should be. Glad it was eventually resolved, but the delay is on us. Appreciate your patience and the honourable mention at the end.

Excellent quality whetstone and great customer service

I bought Kimura's whetstone on Amazon and I'm really impressed, both with the product itself and the company behind it.

I'd never used a whetstone before so wasn't sure what to expect, but it was really straightforward. The stone has two sides with different grits, and everything you need comes in the box including visual instructions, which I found really helpful. The whetstone and its storage box feel really well made and it sharpened my knives beautifully in under 5 minutes.

What sets Kimura apart as a company is the little extras that show they actually stand behind their product. There's a lifetime warranty when you register on their website, and their customer service has been great. It's the kind of thing that makes you feel confident you're buying from a brand that cares.
Really good value, well made, and does exactly what it's supposed to. Would recommend without hesitation.

Thank you for the detailed review. The visual instructions were added because we knew a lot of buyers would be new to whetstones, so good to hear they helped. Enjoy the sharp knives.

My Honest Review

I'm very impressed with the performance of the Kimura Pruning Scissors. The blades are extremely sharp and make clean, precise cuts on garden plants with very little effort. They feel sturdy and well made, yet lightweight enough to use comfortably for extended period.
The ergonomic grip is another standout feature. The scissors fit naturally in my hand and reduce fatigue during longer gardening sessions. I also appreciate the smooth cutting action and the reliable spring mechanism, which makes repetitive trimming much easier.
Overall, the Kimura Pruning Scissors are high quality gardening tool that combines durability, comfort, and precision.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for dependable pruning scissors for everyday garden maintenance.

These are exactly what I have been 👀…

These are exactly what I have been 👀 looking for, the blade is longer, so it can snip rose or flower heads for deadheading much easier than the Fiskars snips that I had been using. Also the spring is much beefier vs my other snips where light spring always fell out, making snips useless, and they a very sharp, with an easy locking latch. Been loving them so far.

Thanks for the detailed review. The longer blade and the heavier spring were two of the things we wanted to get right, so good to hear they are making a difference for your deadheading. Enjoy them.

I wish I learned about Kimura a few years ago instead of wasting $$ purchasing, repairing and using other brands. If quality, reputation AND a lifetime guarantee are three things you find important then Kimura is a logical choice.
