OKATSUNE 104 21cm Large Hands-Pruner-Bypass Pruners
OKATSUNE 104 21cm Large Hands-Pruner-Bypass Pruners - Shears-Secateurs-Pruners. The OKATSUNE 104 is a professional, lightweight pruning shears, which weighs only 238 gr. With a length of 180 mm (10 mm larger than 103) it is the most suitable pruning shear for larger hands of the 3 models offered by the famous Japanese company. 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 104 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.
