Weighing just 110 g and hand-forged in Japan from Izumo Yasugi steel, these Okatsune snips deliver clean, accurate cuts that protect plant tissue and promote healthy regrowth. Available from Suffolk Mowers with full UK support and lifetime warranty.
Precision Snips for Delicate Work
The Okatsune 304 Thinning Snips are designed for gardeners, growers, and florists who demand accuracy and finesse. Their long, narrow blades reach deep into dense foliage to isolate individual stems — ideal for fine pruning, trimming herbs, or preparing flowers for display. Each cut is smooth, controlled, and effortless, even on the smallest stems.
Japanese Steel for Lasting Sharpness
Hand-forged in Japan from Izumo Yasugi high-carbon steel, the Okatsune 304 offers the same legendary sharpness found across Okatsune’s professional range. The 45 mm blades glide through soft stems without tearing or crushing, while the smooth spring action makes repetitive cutting comfortable. A simple locking clip secures the snips for safe storage between uses.

At only 110 g, these snips feel feather-light yet perfectly balanced in hand. The ergonomic handle design provides excellent control, reducing strain during extended work. Whether used in the garden, greenhouse, or workshop, the Okatsune 304 delivers professional-level performance in a compact, easy-to-handle form.
