Old post, but i know I usually read through old stuff when I am looking for information:
I would caution anyone looking at getting one if you plan to cut anything woody. The design of the blades make the top blade push down and the bottom blade push up if it contacts any resistance, like woody sticks. This makes the sections contact and get stuck together (top tooth stuck to bottom tooth). I spent many hours talking to their support on the phone. They have great customer service, but it just isn't made to cut anything woody (not even the 1/8th inch shoots of my rabbiteye blueberries). I got one to replace a homemade version because it was old and would require complete disassembly to change out the damaged teeth. The Sabre Samurai Cutter is just not heavy duty enough even though their website says it can cut upto 1 1/2in and they have a video of blueberries being hedged.
If you are only cutting tender plants or the smallest of new growth this will probably work great, but don't expect a heavyduty cutter, my converted sickle-bar with the welded on hydraulic motor would cut stuff 5 times larger than this and it had the same size if not smaller hydraulic motor as the Samurai Cutter.
