About ARS

Since 1876, the Japanese company ARS has been producing high-quality professional pruning tools. ARS’ state-of-the-art technology utilizes high carbon tool steel to produce exceptionally sharp blades that hold their edge, cut after cut. ARS invented the tri-edge, pull saw blade that is now the industry standard. Though the name ARS actually comes from the Greek word for “art,” it’s no coincidence that it’s also an acronym for “Always Really Sharp.” ARS is distributed in the U.S. by GrowTech, Inc., a family-owned company we are proud to call one of our partners.
