Okatsune 207 Heavy Duty Snips

The Okatsune 207 Heavy Duty Snips are built for growers and gardeners who need more power without losing precision. With 3.3 mm thick blades and a sharp pointed tip, they cut smoothly through small branches and firm stems while still reaching tight spots in dense growth.

Hand-forged in Japan from high-carbon Izumo Yasugi steel, these snips deliver the perfect blend of strength, balance, and sharpness. Available from Suffolk Mowers with full UK support and lifetime warranty.

Strength and Precision in One Tool

The Okatsune 207 sits at the heavy-duty end of the Okatsune thinning range. Its thicker 3.3 mm blades handle semi-hard stems and small branches that lighter snips can’t, while still offering the fine control needed for clean, accurate pruning. Each cut is smooth and deliberate, helping prevent tearing or crushing that can damage plants.

For Bonsai, Orchard, and Skilled Garden Work

Designed for professionals and serious gardeners, the Okatsune 207 excels at pruning bonsai, thinning fruit, and trimming ornamentals. The pointed tip gives precise access in compact spaces, while the compact frame remains light and balanced for extended use. It’s ideal wherever accuracy is more important than brute force.

Forged from Izumo Yasugi Japanese Steel

The blades are crafted from Izumo Yasugi high-carbon steel — the same metal used in traditional Japanese blades. This material keeps its edge through heavy, repeated use and sharpens easily when needed. Combined with Okatsune’s simple spring mechanism and smooth pivot, the 207 provides reliable, effortless performance season after season.

Care and Maintenance

After each use, wipe the blades clean and apply a light oil to the pivot to prevent sap build-up or corrosion. Avoid using the snips on dry hardwood or overly thick stems to maintain sharpness. For lighter pruning, use Okatsune 306 or 307 snips; for heavier cuts, step up to Okatsune 103 secateurs. A leather holster or belt pouch keeps the snips protected and within easy reach during work.

Lifetime Warranty for Lasting Reliability

When purchased through Suffolk Mowers, the Okatsune 207 Heavy Duty Snips are covered by a lifetime warranty. If a manufacturing defect occurs, they’ll be repaired or replaced free of charge. With minimal upkeep, these precision snips will deliver years of dependable service in both professional and domestic gardens.
