All okra that I have ever seen produces spines. Some varieties have stiff spines like porcupine quills. Others have relatively soft and flexible spines that don't tend to penetrate skin as much. If you have a large amount of okra to gather, I recommend long sleeves and gloves. It will save you a LOT of itching.
