These ARS shears are a gardener’s best friend. They’re from Japan, where they take cutting tools seriously. The “double black” refers to the all-black finish, which looks sleek and hides dirt.
Size: Total length is 169mm (about 6.7 inches), blade length is 40mm. They’re compact and lightweight (only 60g), so you can use them for hours without hand fatigue.
Special Feature: They have a wire-cutting notch near the pivot. Perfect for snipping plant ties, light gauge wire, or twist ties without damaging the blades.
Blade Quality: Made from high-carbon steel, sharpened to a fine edge. They cut cleanly through stems, flowers, and small branches without crushing.
Ergonomics: The handles are designed to fit comfortably in your hand, with a smooth action and a secure grip.
Use for: Pruning roses, deadheading flowers, trimming herbs, bonsai work, or detailed garden tasks. Not for thick branches—keep those for loppers.
Care: Wipe clean after use, oil the pivot occasionally, and keep them dry. ARS tests every pair for sharpness and quality before it leaves the factory.
A premium, precise tool that makes gardening more enjoyable. If you’ve ever struggled with clunky, dull shears, you’ll appreciate the difference these make.
