Are you tired of struggling with overgrown pine needles? Look no further! The Okatsune Pine Needle Shears are here to revolutionize your pine maintenance routine. Crafted with precision and expertise.  These shears are designed to effortlessly trim and shape pine needles, giving your trees and shrubs a well-groomed and picturesque appearance. Originally Designed in Japan to be used for pine trimming and arranging the shape of pine needle trees.  However, it turns out that they are also exceptional for pruning bonsai and great for cutting other soft small branches.  If you are looking to cut something more like soft buds check out the Okatsune Long Nose snips (#304).

Key Features:

1. Superior Japanese Craftsmanship: Okatsune artisans in Japan meticulously handcraft the Pine Needle Shears, renowned for their exceptional attention to detail.

   The blades of these Japanese bonsai shears (bonsai Basami) are uniquely forged from the finest IZUMO YASUGI steel.   They have a very high Rockwell hardness of 60 to 61. Therefore, the blades stay sharp for a very long time.  They also consistently give a clean, precise cut with minimal effort. Furthermore, Okatsune combines the hardness with a special flexibility, so that the cutting blade always aligns with the counter blade, even after intensive usage. 

   The blade features two ground angles, ensuring smooth wood cutting without causing unnecessary damage to the plant. Due to the unique shape of the hollow ground blade the sap flows away from the blade and the blades will not come apart. The V-shape of the spring evenly distributes the cutting load along its length, resulting in a gentle closing action.

2. Ergonomic Design: Engineered with user comfort in mind.  These shears feature ergonomic handles that provide a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during extended use. The lightweight design allows for easy maneuverability, making it a joy to work with even the tallest pines.

3. Razor-Sharp Blades: The Okatsune Pine Needle Shears boast razor-sharp blades that effortlessly slice through pine needles with minimal effort. The long, slender blades allow for precise trimming, reaching deep into the densest foliage, while the non-stick coating prevents sap and resin from building up, ensuring a smooth and clean-cutting experience.

4. Versatile Applications: Their versatile design allows these shears to trim soft small branches, shape bonsai trees, or prune other delicate plants in your garden with ease. The Okatsune Pine Needle Shears are truly a multipurpose tool that will become an indispensable part of your gardening arsenal.

5. Timeless Beauty: Okatsune’s commitment to craftsmanship extends beyond functionality. The sleek and elegant design of these shears showcases the beauty of traditional Japanese tools, adding a touch of sophistication to your gardening experience.
