The Okatsune 215-S Ikebana Scissors bring the traditional Ikenobo shape to a stainless steel body, offering lasting sharpness and minimal maintenance for daily flower arranging. Compact and perfectly balanced, they deliver precise, smooth cuts that preserve stem health and shape.
Hand-forged in Japan, the Okatsune 215-S offers the familiar feel of Okatsune’s carbon steel models with the added benefit of corrosion resistance. Available from Suffolk Mowers with a lifetime warranty, these stainless scissors are built for arrangers who value both craftsmanship and reliability.
Why Choose the Okatsune 215-S Ikebana Scissors
The Okatsune 215-S is a stainless steel version of the classic Ikenobo-style Ikebana scissors, combining the same balance and accuracy as the 215 carbon model with improved resistance to rust and wear. This makes it an excellent choice for professional florists, Ikebana instructors, and enthusiasts who work regularly with water or damp stems.
Precision in Every Cut
The short, wide blades of the Okatsune 215-S provide excellent control for shaping stems, leaves, and smaller branches. The smooth scissor action ensures clean cuts that help preserve moisture within the stems — a vital part of keeping arrangements fresh. The built-in wire notch offers convenience when trimming or securing floral supports.
Durability and Comfort
Forged from high-grade stainless steel, the Okatsune 215-S resists corrosion while maintaining the razor-sharp edge Okatsune is known for. The compact 167 mm size and 145 g weight create a light, responsive feel, making it easy to handle even during long arranging sessions. The scissor’s centre balance gives precise control without strain.
Lifetime Warranty and Easy Care
With a lifetime warranty from Suffolk Mowers, the Okatsune 215-S represents a long-term investment for serious floral artists. It requires minimal care — simply wipe clean after use and store dry. Occasional honing with the Okatsune 412 stone will keep the blades in top condition, and the 1102 holster provides safe storage between sessions.
