Precision Tools for Delicate Work
The Okatsune 306 Thinning Snips are part of Okatsune’s professional precision range, trusted by growers who need clean cuts without damaging soft growth. The rounded tips make them especially useful for working around fruit, buds, or tight clusters of stems, reducing the chance of nicks or bruising. Each snip is designed for control, balance, and a gentle cutting action that leaves plants healthy and undisturbed.
Crafted for Accuracy and Longevity
Each pair is hand-forged in Japan from Izumo Yasugi high-carbon steel — the same material used in traditional Japanese swordmaking. This gives the blades their trademark sharpness, strength, and edge retention. Despite their light weight, these snips are built to withstand daily professional use with simple care and maintenance.
Comfortable and Easy to Handle
Weighing just 105 g, the Okatsune 306 feels agile and well-balanced in the hand. The smooth spring action makes repetitive cutting easy, while the rounded blade design adds safety when working close to fruit or flowers. Their compact 193 mm size is ideal for fine detail work or for users with smaller hands.
Recommended Uses
- Thinning soft fruit, flowers, or young shoots
- Propagation and greenhouse work
- Floristry and detailed pruning

Maintenance and Care
To keep your snips performing at their best, clean them after use and apply a light oil to the blades and pivot. Avoid cutting hard or woody stems to preserve the fine edge. With basic maintenance, the Okatsune 306 will deliver smooth, precise cutting for years of professional use.
Lifetime Warranty for Lasting Confidence
When purchased through Suffolk Mowers, the Okatsune 306 Thinning Snips include a lifetime warranty. If a manufacturing fault ever develops, the snips will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Simple upkeep ensures these precision tools last a lifetime of reliable service.
