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.

Okatsune secateurs are widely regarded as the number one choice for gardeners in Japan, praised for their unmatched combination of sharpness, strength, and simplicity. Forged from premium Izumo Yasugi steel—famed for its hardness—these pruning shears hold their edge through extensive use, delivering clean, effortless cuts time after time.
Engineered with a unique blade angle, they provide smooth, precise cuts without crushing plant tissue. The cutting blade aligns perfectly with the counter blade, even after heavy usage, and the built-in locking mechanism allows for easy one-handed operation.
This 200mm model is ideal for gardeners with larger hands or those needing a bit of extra reach. It handles branches up to 10–15mm in diameter, depending on material condition and cut technique.
