Okatsune Snips

If you are serious about gardening — or at least serious about pretending you know what you are doing — a good pair of Okatsune snips is hard to beat.

Made in Japan and famous for their ridiculously sharp blades, Okatsune snips are designed for clean, precise cutting without crushing stems or mangling soft growth. They are brilliant for deadheading, harvesting herbs, trimming flowers, pruning soft stems and all those fiddly garden jobs where secateurs feel a tiny bit too bulky.

The lightweight design makes them comfortable to use for longer periods, while the high-quality Japanese steel holds an edge exceptionally well. Basically, they are one of those tools gardeners buy “just to try” and then fiercely protect from other family members forever after.

Ideal for home gardeners, florists, veggie gardens, greenhouse work and general garden pottering around Canterbury and beyond.
