Okatsune 101 Bypass Pruners

The Okatsune 101 pruners have a cutting capacity of 18 mm. They are best suited for deadheading flowers, pruning shrubs, and trimming smaller branches.

Yes. The design is fully ambidextrous, meaning the handle shape and locking mechanism are comfortable and functional for both left- and right-handed users.

Because these blades are high carbon steel, they are exceptionally sharp but can rust if left wet. Wipe them clean and dry after every use, and apply a light coat of oil to the blades before storing them to prevent corrosion.

Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to create a clean, precise cut that heals quickly. Anvil pruners use a single blade that crushes against a flat surface, which is better for dead wood but can damage living stems.

The handles are lightweight and ergonomically shaped, which significantly reduces hand fatigue. While they lack rubberized padding, the simple PVC grip is designed to be smooth and easy to maneuver for extended periods.
