Due to the unique shape of the hollow ground blade the sap flows away from the blade, and the blades will not come apart. The V-shape of the spring ensures that the cutting load is distributed evenly over the length of the spring making for a soft closing action. The Okatsune 304 is not suitable for cutting hard (woody) stems. For this you can better use the Okatsune 307.

The shears are constructed from a few components, so that there is little maintenance required. It is recommended to clean the blades after each use.
