The Okatsune 103 is the pure essence of the pruners:

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

The blades of this Japanese pruner (Sentei 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, even after intensive usage.

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 which guarantees a smooth closing.

The blades can very easily be sharpened with the Okatsune whetstoneThe blades are very easy to sharpen with the Okatsune whetstone. The scissors feature a locking system that can be operated with one hand. Don't forget to take a leather holster at the same time. The holster with belt loop allows you to safely carry your pruner with you if you're not using it, but want to have close at hand. Furthermore, the holster also provides for a longer life of your shears.
