Okatsune / Hedge & Topiary Shears
Okatsune 217 /7744ai Short-Handle Trimming Shears
A short-handle format and separately stated 175 mm blades offer a compact-body hedge-shear comparison.
CHOOSING THIS MODEL
Choose a short-handled manual trimming format
The selected Okatsune version is the 21.1-inch short-handle tool, with a 175 mm /6.9-inch blade label. The two measurements are separately stated in the listing, so the blade size can be compared without treating the whole tool as a 21-inch cutting edge.
The blade material is described as special steel, with alloy steel in the blade field. Square bolts and Oddie nuts are explicitly named, giving a useful construction detail without establishing a repair torque or a replacement-part kit. The item figure is 800 g. A generic Oak material field and Alloy Steel handle field do not clearly allocate the handle components, so no wood species is promised here.
Choose WORKPRO if folding storage and waved 65Mn blades are the desired features. Choose the fixed PowerGear2 if its geared mechanism and 10-inch blade label are more useful than this short-handled format. The 30 mm cutting-width entry is not promoted as a branch rating because no matching diameter claim is explained in the product text.
