The Okatsune 205 Hedge Shears are built for reach, strength, and precision — the longest model in the Okatsune range. With 500 mm Japanese oak handles and 175 mm razor-sharp blades, they let you trim tall hedges, deep shrubs, and low growth comfortably without constant bending or stretching.
Made in Japan from Izumo Yasugi steel — the same high-carbon steel used in traditional Samurai blades — the Okatsune 205 delivers smooth, effortless cuts every time. Available from Suffolk Mowers with full UK support and lifetime warranty, these hedge shears are a trusted professional tool that feels balanced, sharp, and ready for serious work.
Why the Okatsune 205 Is a Favourite Among Professionals
The Okatsune 205 hedge shears are designed to give maximum reach and control when shaping or maintaining taller hedges. Their extra-long 500 mm handles make it easy to reach across wide hedges or trim the tops without overreaching, while the razor-sharp 175 mm blades ensure a smooth, clean finish every time.
Extended Reach with Less Effort
One of the main advantages of the Okatsune 205 is its length. At 745 mm overall, it allows you to cut deeper into dense shrubs or shape the lower hedge line without stooping. The longer handles also give more leverage, making it easy to slice through new woody growth with minimal strain.
Japanese Steel for a Precise, Clean Cut
The blades are forged from Izumo Yasugi high-carbon steel, prized for its ability to hold a fine edge even after heavy use. Each cut is crisp and accurate, helping plants heal faster and keeping hedges looking sharp and healthy. The clean cutting action also reduces vibration, so it’s smoother to use over longer periods.
Comfortable, Balanced Handling
Despite the longer handles, the Okatsune 205 weighs only 1 kg. The balance between handle length and blade size gives full control without fatigue. The natural oak handles absorb shock and feel comfortable in hand, even during long trimming sessions in warm conditions.
Lifetime Warranty for Complete Confidence
When purchased through Suffolk Mowers, the Okatsune 205 Hedge Shears come with a lifetime warranty. If a manufacturing defect ever occurs, they will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Built to last for years of professional use, these shears represent true Japanese quality and craftsmanship.
Made to Last
Like all Okatsune tools, the 205 is simple, strong, and easy to maintain. There are no complex mechanisms — just quality steel, solid wood, and dependable Japanese engineering. Clean and oil the blades regularly, and they’ll last for many years of consistent use.
