Where this sits
In Kimari's thinning scissors lineup the Kimari 15LF Left-Hand Thinning occupies the mid-range tier, priced above the Kimari 15LF Thinning Scissor. Manufactured in Japan.
The Kimari 15LF is a left-hand thinning scissor from the Kimari line by Takano Canada, priced at CAD $510 direct from takanocanada.com. Takano Canada specifies 15 teeth, cobalt alloy blades, a 6-inch overall length, and F-style offset handles — medium weight with a smaller finger opening than the D model, and an engraved floral design on the handles.
The low tooth count removes a higher proportion of hair per pass, suited to heavier blending and bulk reduction. For current availability, see the Kimari brand page or Takano Canada.

Professional Opinion
Fifteen teeth is a low count, so each pass removes a generous share of hair; this is a heavier blending and bulk tool, not a finishing thinner. The 15LF builds that on a true left-hand configuration with F-style offset handles and a smaller finger opening. Cobalt alloy blades at 6 inches, with an engraved floral finish.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades clean after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in a protective case
