He derived the word Okatsune from his own name. At the beginning, Okano forged a limited supply of top-quality shears. This was done in a traditional manner, and following a unique process. Also, over the years, he gradually expanded the product range, always striving for perfection. He made the handles red/white, a combination that stands out, and is in Japan symbolizing happiness. Almost 70 years later Okatsune is in Japan the undisputed number 1, and his shears are being used all over the world with much pleasure. The product range currently consists of pruning shears, cutting and harvesting shears, hedge shears, Bonsai scissors, and Ikebana scissors for traditional Japanese floral arrangements.Unique qualityOkatsune’s razor-sharp shears are uniquely forged from the best Izumo Yasugi steel, which is traditionally being used for the Katana swords used by the Samurai. This process only takes place in the Izumo region, solely using Izumo iron sand. Tsuneichi Okano has managed to industrially produce superior shears that have a very high Rockwell hardness of 60.0 to 61.0 – unrivalled by other brands, through an innovative tempering process. This hardness ensures that the cutting edge remains sharp, slicing easily through wood, and the blades slide smoothly over each other to give an easier cutting action. Soft metal in the core of the blade preserves flexibility, so the cutting blade always aligns with the counter blade, even after intensive usage.Razor-sharp, simple and robust What do all these technical terms say? In summary, it comes down to three key points:Razor-sharp: Okatsune shears are razor-sharp. The steel’s high hardness gives the blades their sharpness. This hardness keeps the blades sharp for a long time, and always ensures a clean and precise cut. The blade has been ground in two angles, so it will also smoothly cut through wood. If the blade loses its sharpness, you can easily grind the steel with the Okatsune whetstone, even though it has high hardness.Simple: Okatsune shears only consist of a few parts. This ensures a high stability, and optimal ease of use. The shears are lightweight and require little maintenance.Robust: Okatsune pruning-and hedge shears are real musclemen. You can effortlessly cut through thick branches without having to worry that the shear gives way, or even breaks. Nevertheless, you will find that the shears are very lightweight.Treat Okatsune shears, with love Although made from the finest steel, Okatsune shears can rust if you don’t properly maintain them. We recommend to clean the blades after use. After cleaning, it is wise to oil the shears, and store moisture-free with the cutting blades closed. If you notice that the shear, is cutting less well, you can grind it with the Okatsune whetstone (Okatsune 412).If you treat your Okatsune shear, with love, you will have a lifelong pleasure!
