The Okatsune 0-217 hedge shears are built for people who care about clean lines and sharp hedges, from small city sections to larger lifestyle blocks all over New Zealand. Made in Japan from high quality Izumo Yasugi steel, the 175mm blades are extremely sharp and hold their edge well, giving you clean, crisp cuts rather than tearing at the foliage.

The shorter 175mm blade length makes these shears compact and easy to control, which is ideal for formal hedging, tight spaces, topiary and detailed shaping work. You still get good reach from the traditional wooden handles, but the overall balance feels light and responsive, so you can work for longer without your arms blowing out.

Okatsune tools are known for simple, robust construction. There are no fussy adjusters or complicated mechanisms – just strong blades, a solid pivot and well shaped handles. With basic care and occasional sharpening, these hedge shears will give many seasons of reliable service in New Zealand’s varied climates.

Backed by a 12 month manufacturer warranty, they are a serious step up from standard hardware store clippers. Whether you are tidying a box hedge in Hamilton, shaping feijoas on a coastal property, or keeping formal shrubs sharp for clients, the Okatsune 0-217 hedge shears will quickly become your go to trimming tool.
