The Okatsune 215 Ikebana Scissors are a compact Ikenobo-style model made for precision and balance in Japanese flower arranging. Their shorter, lighter design offers excellent control for fine trimming and shaping, making them perfect for smaller or more intricate floral compositions.
Hand-forged in Japan from Izumo Yasugi high-carbon steel, the Okatsune 215 delivers the signature sharpness and smooth cutting feel that define Okatsune tools. Available from Suffolk Mowers, these authentic Ikenobo-style scissors also feature a convenient wire-cutting notch for floral supports and bindings.
Compact Control for Detailed Ikenobo Arranging
The Okatsune 215 is the smaller counterpart to the Okatsune 209, designed for arrangers who prefer a lighter, more agile tool. Its compact build offers precision in tight spaces, allowing delicate shaping and trimming near the stem base. Each cut is clean and angled to promote water uptake, helping flowers last longer and stay vibrant.
Authentic Ikenobo Blade Geometry
Following the Ikenobo tradition, the 215 features short, wide blades for quick, clean cuts through soft stems, leaves, and fine twigs. The wide neck and sturdy pivot provide reliable strength while maintaining sensitivity for detailed floral work. A built-in wire-cutting notch adds convenience during traditional binding or support preparation.
Forged in Japan from Izumo Yasugi Steel
Each pair is hand-forged from Izumo Yasugi high-carbon steel — the same alloy used in Okatsune’s professional horticultural tools. The result is exceptional edge retention, minimal friction, and long-lasting precision. The one-piece forged handle design ensures balance, comfort, and durability during extended use.
Care and Maintenance
After each session, wipe the blades clean and apply a light oil to prevent rust. Sharpen occasionally with the Okatsune 412 stone to maintain a fine edge. The Okatsune 1102 holster is recommended for safe storage and easy access during arranging work.
Lifetime Warranty and UK Support
Available exclusively through Suffolk Mowers, the Okatsune 215 Ikebana Scissors include a lifetime warranty and full aftercare support. Compact, sharp, and authentically made in Japan, they’re the go-to choice for Ikenobo practitioners and florists seeking control and precision in every cut.
