Silky Okatsune Thinning Secateurs
Okatsune 207 are heavy duty but lightweight thinning shears. The pointed razor-sharp blades with their thickness of 3.3mm are strong enough to cut small branches, and at the same time thin enough to penetrate deep into the bush. This allows you to simply make a clean cut at the most difficult places to reach, without damaging surrounding stems. These shears are also perfect for all the maintenance on your bonsai, like candle pruning, style pruning and maintenance pruning. In addition, these shears are suitable for cutting flowers because of the razor-sharp and pointed beak.

This process only takes place in the Izumo region, solely using Izumo iron sand. In summary razor-sharp, simple and robust.
