Your cart is empty.These Okatsune Professional Snips are of top quality and used in many of the top gardens in Japan. You can get a very precise and detailed cut compared to something like the bulkier hand pruners. The Kansia area of Japan prefers the Garden Scissors as its all-purpose go to tool, but other areas lean more toward these Professional Snips. It is really a matter of preference.

These are high quality snips. They are definitely sharp. Great for harvesting strawberries, flowers and things of that nature. They are snips and not pruners, so not the tool you want for cutting woody twigs. With proper care they should last a lifetime.

These things are super-sharp and pointy. Perfect for getting into thicker rose bushes and citrus trees. They cut very cleanly and are quite lightweight. The simplicity, quality and effectiveness is so perfectly Japanese.

i purchased one snip two months ago and second one a few weeks later because I like the way it feels and cuts. It does a very good job but the first snip is now not cutting beans off the bush cleanly as I probably had challenged it way over its capacity with small hard branches. Another issue is that the carbon blades darken with use so had to purchase a rust eraser and camellia oil to remove the stains and keep it looking clean.Update 2 years later: I still love these snips and have since purchased several more. The first two still work but since I damaged them by accidentally cutting plant cages/wire, they have been relegated to outlying areas in the garden for quick trimming of weeds/vines/small branches. I gave up trying to keep them shiny as they work perfectly fine no matter how dark they get. I keep a couple in the house for floral arrangements, trips to the garden for herbs. My absolutely favorite tool!

I bought these after several hours of review of build quality and liked the simplistic carbon steel design (fewer parts to move, fewer parts that break). After receiving the snips I immediately went outside to do some fine detail pruning on new growth of a young Crape Myrtle that had been damaged in the fall by CMBS and sooty mold. Within 5 minutes of initial use the very fine and sharp blade had chipped on both sides. I have seen others mention they are for fine detail, of course they are and they should not chip on initial use on sprouts of soft tissues of a young tree less than 3-5mm in diameter. Very disappointing.

Absolutely love these! Told by an old Japanese expert pruner that these were the best & he's right - very sharp, very easy on the hands/joints. I've had mine for 3 yr, just recently replaced since they're getting a little dull, though I did not try to sharpen them. Japanese pruner suggested that it's easier to buy a new pair since sharpening by an amateur doesn't give quite as good an edge. I've given these as gifts to several of my gardening friends, one of whom has also purchased the bypass pruners made by this company, which she uses when pruning her vineyard. I wish this company made hedge shears.

After a couple months of use for floral design work, five days a week, cutting soft stems, hard stems, and wood sticks, it's obvious the metal is of great quality. It is sharp and STAYS sharp despite such constant use. On the negative, when not kept closed with the leather strap (which has developed a small tear) the handles stay open at a wide gap, which could be difficult for someone to grab if they happen to have short fingers. Besides this, because of the somewhat slick metal, if your hands are not warm or you're not wearing gloves, your fingers will slip up the handles toward the shears. Not so much unsafe as it is cumbersome. Despite this, I should reiterate the quality of these shears. Fundamental in design, they are precise and sharp, as mentioned already. I'm definitely happy with my choice. Just keep the proper angles when sharpening and they will serve you well!

Very sharp and cuts with little effort. It is a small sniper that is ideal for shaping small, delicate trees and shrubs.Also ideal for removing dead leaves or harvesting vegetable in a container garden.
