Okatsune Hedge Shear
By The Garden Wizard
I am a professional gardener. I have over the years used many brands and varieties of shears, and was pleased with none of them until I got my hands on a pair of Okatsune hedge shears.They come sharp, they stay sharp, and only an occasional touchup with a ceramic rod keeps them at a fine edge. Okatsune shears are what happens when japanese sword makers apply their skills to peaceful pursuits. The balance and weight makes them extremely easy to use, easy on the back and shoulders. In the springtime I frequently trim boxwoods five or six hours a day for two or three weeks in a row. The Okatsunes make it a breeze.They are always three to five times as expensive as garden variety shears, but will still be in good shape long after the others have been trashed. this is a case where you get what you pay for, and they are darn well worth it.

Sharp! well worth the cost! cuts boxwood leaves impecably,A must-have in a fine gardeners collection of tools, thin blades that aren't clunky and heavy but are very strong, easy to maintain and adjust.

I lived in Japan for 18 years and had bought a similar one when I lived there. I regretted that I did not bring it back with me and was disappointed that I could not find shears like it here in the states. Even though it is pricey it is worth every penny for the results you can achieve in your yard.
