Bypass Pruners 180
Bypass Pruners 180
The gold standard. The Hiroshima legend. If your garden rituals involve a level of precision bordering on the surgical, you’ve found your match.
Okatsune isn’t just a brand; for those who treat pruning as a high art, it’s a way of life. For over 70 years, they’ve been forging tools in Hiroshima that make other pruners look like toys. These 180mm Bypass Pruners are the compact heavyweights of the range—perfect for general gardening, Bonsai, and Ikebana where control is everything.
The secret lies in the steel. Forged from the same high-quality Japanese steel used in Samurai Katana swords, these blades undergo a precise tempering process that brings them to a formidable 60 to 61 on the Rockwell C hardness scale. Translation? They stay wickedly sharp for an absurdly long time, effortlessly gliding through branches up to 20mm.
Whether you’re deadheading roses or tackling tough, woody shrubs, these pruners offer a strength and build quality that feels purposeful in the hand. At 180mm, they provide a nimble, responsive feel that makes every cut feel satisfyingly definitive. It’s professional-grade horticulture in your back pocket.
The Details:
- Origin: Hiroshima, Japan
- Best For: General gardening, nursery work, and those who take their Bonsai very seriously.

“I wish I had discovered this years ago. Made the perfect gift for the man who ‘has it all’. Beautifully crafted, I was pleasantly surprised how heavy and sharp it was. Would buy again.”

“I love the easy access both sides, the height was sufficient to grown runner beans on a tall mesh frame and it’s very easy to put together but may need two people to lift the net over the framework. Just love it.”

“I have one and it is a game changer. Enough pockets to totally fit all the tools I wanted to carry. It's great to have them all in one handy place when I'm working in the garden instead of floating around in the bottom of the wheelbarrow.”

“Where has this tool been all my life? It is awesome, works brilliantly, even with older dried out flax. Literally like a hot knife through butter."
