217 Okatsune 7744ai Trimming Shears, Type 60, Short Handle

I bought these for work gardening and plan on purchasing some for my home now as well. Absolutely worth the investment!!!

I use these for trimming topiary. Nice and sharp, easy to use, and superior quality. .

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.

These are very sharp and light weight. I’ve tried other brand trimming shears, and these are by far the most comfortable to use.

this is a great instrument and is worth that every penny. It will help you do things in the garden. Much better and much easier. Keep it out of the hands of the kids though.

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.

These are so beautifully made. They are a pleasure to use and with care I plan to be using them for a long time.

Used this extensively to cut back and shape my boxwoods, rhododendrons, and other decoratives. It is not designed to cut through limbs of more than 1/2 inch although I bet it could.Maintenance is easy -- I plan to sharpen at the start of each season. Nothing else to really think about.I am so happy to have replaced my electric trimmer -- with these the job is only marginally slower with far greater precision and control. My unreliable power trimmers which are heading to the trash!(Tool off a star due to price only -- could be 10-15% less.)

I purchased this Okatsune Precision Hedge Shears, 7 5/8" blade, 22" for trimming a huge area of hedge, trees and shrubs at a Temple. Needless to say that it was a breeze to use it. It was almost effortless to cut thick branches. The handle, its length, its thickness, looks like is very scientifically designed. Its blades are really amazing. Does not wear out at all. Also, even after extensive use, there is no play between the blade joint. Certainly an excellent value for money spent.

Be warned, these shears are lethally sharp, which, in the right hands, is exactly what you want. They are lightweight, beautifully balanced and a complete pleasure to use. They will cut privet, hawthorn, shrubs and box hedges to precise perfection and, to seal the deal, they come presented in a very elegant leather sheath. Simply the best shears we’ve ever owned over a lifetime of gardening.

I have bought other brands of shears as well as cordless hedgers. These do a fantastic job tidying up after quickly shaping with a hedger or for small ball shaped hedges etc. Compared to a box store brand of shears, these feel incredibly light and well balanced. I actually bought these for my wife who is a gardener and she absolutely loves these shears. She also has the secateurs which are equally fantastic.Yes they are dearer than something from Box stores like Bunnings etc but well worth the money. My wife describes them as almost therapeutic to use!

Being a horticulture worker, I've tried a couple of models but nothing came close to these. They're so sharp that you can really concentrate on the shape that you're trying to get rather than how to get a good cut. I wouldn't beat them up with thick branches like I do my pruning shears because I want these to stay as sharp as possible for as long as possible. They really are fantastic to use, I kind of felt like Edward Scissorhands since they're so precise!
