The Okatsune 221 is the pure essence of the bonsai scissors:

• Razor-sharp, always with a clean cut
• Simple design for optimal ease of use
• Ultra lightweight, and yet particularly robust

The blades of these Japanese bonsai scissors (Bonsai Basami) are uniquely forged from the finest IZUMO YASUGI steel, and have a very high Rockwell hardness of 60.0 to 61.0. Therefore, the blades stay sharp for a long time and they consistently give a clean and precise cut in the wood, without giving much effort. Furthermore, Okatsune combines the hardness with a special flexibility, so that the cutting blade always aligns with the counter blade and does not break.

The blade has been ground in two angles, so it will also smoothly cut through wood, and will not unnecessarily damage the plant. Due to the unique shape of the hollow ground blade the sap flows away from the blade, and the blades will not come apart. The V-shape of the spring ensures that the cutting load is distributed evenly over the length of the spring making for a soft closing action. The Okatsune 221 is not suitable for cutting small branches. For this you better use the Okatsune 207 use modelling scissors.

The blades can very easily be sharpened with the Okatsune whetstone.
