The Okatsune 103 Bypass Secateurs are the most popular model in the Okatsune range — a perfectly balanced 200 mm pair designed for standard hand sizes and all-round pruning. Built from Izumo Yasugi steel, the same high-carbon material used in Japanese Katana blades, they deliver a clean, effortless cut through branches up to 25 mm thick.
Favoured by professional gardeners and serious home users, the Okatsune 103 combines sharpness, simplicity, and strength in one dependable tool. Available from Suffolk Mowers with full UK support and a lifetime warranty, these secateurs are built to perform season after season without fuss or adjustment.
Why the Okatsune 103 Is the Go-To Choice for Gardeners
The Okatsune 103 secateurs have earned a reputation for reliability and effortless performance. Their straightforward design and sharp blades make them suitable for everything from light trimming to tougher pruning tasks. The 200 mm size offers a comfortable, balanced feel that suits most hand sizes, making this the go-to model for both professional and domestic use.
Clean, Effortless Cutting Power
Forged from high-carbon Izumo Yasugi steel, the blades hold an exceptional edge and slice cleanly through wood up to 25 mm thick. This reduces bruising on live branches, helping plants recover faster after pruning. The smooth bypass action gives precise control whether shaping shrubs or cutting back roses and fruit trees.
Built for Everyday Use
Weighing just 225 g, the Okatsune 103 remains light enough for extended work while still providing the power needed for thicker stems. The simple, single-pivot design means fewer parts to wear out and minimal maintenance, keeping these secateurs working season after season.
Comfortable and Balanced
The handle shape follows the natural grip of the hand, reducing fatigue and improving accuracy with every cut. Gardeners who find the smaller 101 a little tight or the larger 104 too wide will find the 103 perfectly proportioned.

When purchased through Suffolk Mowers, your Okatsune 103 secateurs are covered by a lifetime warranty. If a manufacturing fault ever occurs, we’ll repair or replace them free of charge. This reflects Okatsune’s commitment to producing tools that last a lifetime when properly cared for.
