OKATSUNE 101 18cm Pruner for Small Hands-Bypass Pruners
OKATSUNE 101 18cm Pruner for Small Hands-Bypass Pruners - Shears-Secateurs-Pruners. The OKATSUNE 101 is a professional, lightweight pruning shears, which weighs only 177 gr. With a length of 180 mm it is the most compact pruning shears of the 3 models offered by the famous Japanese company, and therefore particularly suitable for small hands. The use of this sharp pruner allows effortless cutting of branches up to 25 mm in diameter on shrubs, roses, fruit trees and climbing plants. The blades of these Japanese tools are forged from the best Japanese steel (the same steel from which the Samurai Katana sword is made), the IZUMO YASUGI, and have a very high hardness (Rockwell: 60 to 61). As a result, the blades remain sharp for a long time and consistently give a clean and precise cut in the wood without a particularly high effort. In addition, the OKATSUNE 101 combines hardness with functional flexibility, so that the cutting blade is always aligned with the opposite blade, even after intensive use. Still, the blade is ground at two angles so that it cuts smoothly through wood and does not unnecessarily injure the plant. Due to the unique shape of the hollow ground blade, the juice flows away from the blade and the blades do not separate. The V-shape of the spring ensures that the cutting load is evenly distributed along the entire length of the spring, making it soft to close. In general, Okatsune pruners are the undisputed number 1 in Japan.
