Okatsune Hedge Shears Type 65

The shorter handle design is specifically engineered for working in elevated positions, such as when you are standing on a stepladder. This length provides better control and balance when trimming the tops of hedges without the extra weight or bulk of long-handled shears.

No, the Okatsune Type 65 is designed specifically for right-handed users. The blade alignment and ergonomic handle shape are optimized for the right hand to ensure a clean, precise cut.

These blades are made from high-quality cutlery steel, which holds an edge exceptionally well. To maintain performance, wipe the blades clean of sap and debris after every use and lightly oil them before storage to prevent rust.

This mechanism allows you to securely adjust the tension of the blades. By using the auxiliary nut, you can ensure the blades remain perfectly aligned for a smooth, bypass cutting action, which prevents the shears from loosening over time.

The Type 65 is designed primarily for precise hedge trimming and shaping, not for heavy-duty branch removal. While the bypass mechanism is robust, it is best suited for soft green growth and smaller twigs rather than woody, thick stems.
