The Okatsune 214 Hedge Shears combine reach, comfort, and adaptability in one professional-grade design. With 500 mm Japanese oak handles, 175 mm razor-sharp blades, and a distinctive wide, curved neck, these shears offer more handle space and control whether you’re trimming close-up or reaching deep into taller hedges.
Made in Japan from Izumo Yasugi high-carbon steel, the Okatsune 214 delivers the clean, effortless cutting performance the brand is known for. Available from Suffolk Mowers with full UK support and lifetime warranty, these shears provide the perfect balance of precision and power for serious gardeners and professionals alike.
Why Gardeners Choose the Okatsune 214 Hedge Shears
The Okatsune 214 hedge shears are designed for professionals who value comfort and flexibility. Their wide-neck construction gives extra space between the handles, making them easier to use for longer periods and suitable for different cutting positions. Whether shaping tight box hedges or reaching across deep shrubs, the 214 delivers precision and control with less fatigue.
Wide-Neck Design for Ergonomic Comfort
The key feature that sets the Okatsune 214 apart is its wide, curved neck. This design provides more hand clearance, reducing the chance of knuckle contact during long trimming sessions. It also allows for two grip positions — forward for delicate shaping, or further back for extra reach and power when tackling taller or thicker hedges.
Japanese Steel Blades for a Sharp, Clean Cut
The 175 mm blades are forged from Izumo Yasugi high-carbon steel, renowned for its sharpness and durability. Each cut is clean and precise, reducing tearing on live branches and helping plants heal faster. Even dense growth like laurel, rhododendron, or hornbeam is trimmed smoothly and efficiently.
Balanced, Comfortable Handling
Weighing 1,050 g, the Okatsune 214 feels solid but never heavy. The 500 mm Japanese oak handles absorb vibration and provide natural balance for all-day comfort. This thoughtful design makes it a favourite among professional landscapers and detail-focused gardeners alike.
Lifetime Warranty for Total Confidence
When purchased through Suffolk Mowers, the Okatsune 214 Hedge Shears include a lifetime warranty. If a manufacturing fault ever arises, your shears will be repaired or replaced free of charge. With proper care, they’ll deliver reliable, razor-sharp performance season after season.
