The Okatsune 231 Hedge Shears combine short 300 mm handles with long 200 mm blades, giving you control and reach in one compact tool. Favoured by professional gardeners and topiary specialists, the 231 allows precise shaping when working close to box, yew, or ornamental shrubs.

Lightweight at just 800 g and made in Japan from Izumo Yasugi steel, these Okatsune shears hold an edge exceptionally well and cut cleanly without bruising new growth. Available from Suffolk Mowers with full UK support and lifetime warranty.

Precision and Balance in Compact Form

The Okatsune 231 is known for its effortless handling and exceptional cutting accuracy. Its short 300 mm handles bring you closer to the work, giving better balance and fingertip control — ideal when trimming box hedges, creating topiary shapes, or working in confined beds where longer handles can feel clumsy.

Built for Professional Use

Each pair of Okatsune 231 shears is hand-forged in Japan using Izumo Yasugi steel — the same high-carbon material used for traditional Japanese swords. This steel holds its edge through daily use, requiring less frequent sharpening and ensuring every cut is clean and precise. The simple, solid construction reflects Okatsune’s no-nonsense design philosophy: reliable tools that perform flawlessly year after year.

Comfort and Long-Term Use

Weighing only 800 g, these shears are light enough for extended use without strain. The smooth wooden handles absorb vibration and provide a comfortable, natural grip. The red and white handle design — a signature of Okatsune — ensures the tool is easy to spot when working among dense foliage.

Ideal Applications

Precision trimming of boxwood and yew
Topiary shaping and detailed hedge work
Close, controlled cutting in tight beds or raised planters
Finishing cuts on formal hedges and ornamental gardens

Lifetime Warranty for Lasting Assurance

When purchased through Suffolk Mowers, the Okatsune 231 Hedge Shears are covered by a lifetime warranty. If a manufacturing fault ever develops, the shears will be repaired or replaced free of charge. This reflects Okatsune’s reputation for tools built to last a lifetime when properly cared for.
