Know before you buy
The folding design allows you to safely store the blade when not in use, making it much easier to carry in a pocket or tool bag. It provides the same precision as a fixed saw while offering significantly better portability for working in different areas of the garden.
This saw is designed primarily for precision work, such as bonsai, Ikebana, and detailed pruning of garden trees. While it is incredibly sharp and durable, its 6.5-inch blade is best suited for smaller branches rather than clearing large limbs or thick timber.
Okatsune tools are renowned for their high-carbon steel, which holds an exceptionally sharp edge. You will notice a cleaner, smoother cut that minimizes damage to the plant tissue, which is essential for the health of delicate bonsai or floral arrangements.
Yes, the saw features a reliable locking mechanism that keeps the blade firmly in place while you are cutting. This ensures stability and safety during use, preventing the blade from folding unexpectedly.
To maintain its sharpness and prevent rust, keep the blade clean and dry after every use. Periodically wiping it with a light coat of camellia oil or a similar tool lubricant will help protect the steel and ensure the folding mechanism remains smooth.
