Founded in Hiroshima in the 1940s by master blacksmith Tsuneichi Okano, Okatsune is Japan's number one brand of pruning shears. Their tools are forged from Izumo Yasugi steel — the same high-carbon steel traditionally used for samurai swords — achieving an unrivalled Rockwell hardness of 60-61. The distinctive red and white handles symbolise good luck in Japan. Okatsune's philosophy of razor-sharp simplicity and robust construction has earned them a devoted following among professional gardeners worldwide.
