  • Quality Hedge Shears That Make Trimming Easier
I work as a freelance gardener and sometimes that means trimming a hedge. I don't use gas powered tools. Prior to purchasing these Okatsune shears, I owned a very basic and somewhat heavy set of shears and I didn't particularly enjoy hedge trimming. All of that completely changed after I bought these shears. Firstly, as a female gardener, these are really enjoyable to use because they are incredibly light weight and nimble so there is absolutely no arm or back fatigue using these as opposed to using heavier shears. Secondly, they are super sharp and trimming with them results in a beautifully precision cut hedge. Thirdly they allow me to get my work done faster. These shears are a dream to work with, I love using them for work and now I can say I really enjoy trimming hedges. ... show more

  • EXCELLENT! Consider Stihl which is rebadged Okatsune 231 Model - longer blades and less $
My "orange handled" hedge shears were not working right - something out of alignment so I was looking and found these rave reviews for OKATSUNE shears. The price was a little high but I am drawn to QUALITY so decided to take the plunge. Bought these 217 shears. They arrived new and sharp and clean. I did not use them as right after I ordered I saw some other reviews theorizing that Stihl Heavy Duty shears are made by Okatsune. Yet the picture didn't quite match these. I dug further and found that Okatsune also makes a 231 model which is same medium length handles but the blades are around 1" longer. THAT picture matched exactly to the Stihl product. So I went to local A hardware store and got those kind for a lower price. I like that I get more blade length for less money. Either way you can't go wrong I think. THESE ARE SHARP and I made quick work of my yews and boxwoods. These cut the boxwoods like buttah! On the yews they also cut like buttah and even on the thicker clumps of stems that are up to 1/2" in diameter, a little arm power and they slice through those too. I cleaned them off after to get the sap off then oiled them. I probably should have oiled them FIRST before using to make clean up even easier. I think they will last a long time. I am a little wary that the oak handles will be the thing that breaks at some point but hopefully not for awhile. They are attached by a couple rivets on each side. ... show more

  • Super sharp
I used this to chop off the tops of the ton of thyme and mint I have to encourage growth and keep the bees under control. The cuts are super sharp. Be careful. I actually cut my finger while using rubbing alcohol to clean the blades. Wow that hurt. These are super light. I'm a 63 yo female and carried them around my hard for 3 hours. Tomorrow I'll use these to tackle all of my boxwood. I bought the whetstone to keep them sharp . Great shearers. The ones I have from ace just basically smushed the stems instead of cutting them. I'm wondering if all Okatsune products are as excellent as these shears. ... show more

  • Smmoooooth!
I've had these shears for exactly one day .... I'm in love! Spent the afternoon trimming my Japanese hollies (what else?!). The shears are basically a very large pair of scissors... a very sharp and wonderfully crafted pair of scissors. Very light weight and perfectly balanced -- does not tire your arms or hands. The cut is effortless and clean. I don't know what took me so long to get these! Worth every penny!! ... show more

  • Wonderful! Definitely recommend!
This works great! Very sharp, and lightweight. Long enough that I can snip at weeds without having to get on my knees. Very precise, can snip a single blade of grass with no problem. Use it to trim weeds around the base of certain shrubs rather than use a weed whacker, which damages them. Love how it looks, it's a beautiful tool. ... show more

  • Very well made and SHARP
I bought these for my mom and then after using hers bought some for myself. They are extremely sharp and well made

  • fantastic shears but maybe too sharp?
These work great. They're smaller than I thought they'd but get the job done and are light. From friends who only buy Japanese yard tools, they'll probably outlive me. If anything, they're TOO sharp. I was cleaning the blade with a cloth and my thumb my have grazed the edge and it slit me wide open. So keep away from children. After a couple months, the blades seem to have rusted though I always put them away dry so I may need to oil. ... show more

  • A dream!
Well balanced, comfortably weighted, narrow blade, keeps an edge for a long time. I like the shorter handles for being able to get into tighter spots. I look forward to entire days of shearing with these shears. Worth every penny!
