The Okatsune 204 Hedge Shears are a medium-handled, short-bladed pair designed for precision hedge work and detailed trimming. With 450 mm wooden handles and 145 mm razor-sharp blades, they strike the perfect balance between reach and control, giving you a clean, effortless cut every time.

Made in Japan from Izumo Yasugi steel — the same high-carbon steel used in Samurai swords — the Okatsune 204 is trusted by professional gardeners for shaping boxwood, conifers, and other fine hedges. Available from Suffolk Mowers with full UK support and lifetime warranty, these shears combine Japanese craftsmanship with long-term reliability.

Why Gardeners Choose the Okatsune 204 Hedge Shears

The Okatsune 204 hedge shears are built for precise, controlled cutting. Their medium-length handles and short blades make them ideal for shaping and refining hedges, especially when accuracy matters as much as speed. The clean, quiet cut they deliver is one of the reasons these shears are used by professionals across the UK and Japan alike.

Balanced Design for Power and Control

At 665 mm overall, the Okatsune 204 offers a comfortable working length that provides both reach and finesse. The 450 mm Japanese oak handles give strong leverage for thicker growth, while the short 145 mm blades allow careful shaping work without overcutting. This balance makes the 204 equally suited to new hedge growth and detailed topiary.

Japanese Steel Blades for a Clean Finish

The blades are forged from Izumo Yasugi high-carbon steel — the same material used in traditional Japanese sword making for its sharpness and edge retention. Each cut is smooth and precise, helping to prevent bruising or tearing of delicate foliage. Even dense or woody growth such as pyracantha and hornbeam is trimmed with minimal effort.

Comfortable for Long Sessions

Weighing just 920 g, these shears feel light and balanced in hand, reducing strain during extended hedge cutting. The natural wooden handles absorb vibration and stay comfortable to grip, even in warm conditions. For many professional gardeners, the 204 sits perfectly between the smaller precision models and the longer heavy-duty versions.

Lifetime Warranty for Total Peace of Mind

When purchased through Suffolk Mowers, the Okatsune 204 Hedge Shears come with a lifetime warranty. In the unlikely event of a manufacturing fault, they will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Okatsune tools are built to last — this warranty simply reflects that commitment to quality and durability.
