Okatsune was founded in the 1940s in Hiroshima by blacksmith Tsuneichi Okano, who began his apprenticeship in 1925. The company still specialises in one thing: garden shears and secateurs made to be used every day by professional gardeners and farmers.
Okatsune blades are forged from Izumo Yasugi steel, a high-carbon steel from the region long associated with Japanese sword making. Hardened carefully, it takes a very sharp edge and holds it well. The tools are simple, strong and easy to sharpen, and the red-and-white handles make them instantly recognisable in gardens and orchards across Japan and around the world.
