Description

Manufactured in Sakai, Osaka—Japan’s historic cutlery capital—by ARS Corporation (established in 1876), the ARS 300S Ultra-Compact Fruit Thinning & Fine Harvest Snips 175mm is an iconic, high-efficiency practical tool trusted by orchard owners, florists, and greenhouse growers worldwide. Featuring ARS’s signature red handles, this shear represents the gold standard in lightweight Japanese harvesting cutlery.

Weighing an astonishingly light 105g, the 300S is engineered to eliminate hand, finger, and wrist fatigue during hours of continuous crop maintenance. Its compact 175mm overall length fits naturally into smaller hands or gloved palms, delivering effortless maneuverability and comfortable control.

Forged from ARS’s proprietary high-carbon cutlery steel and treated with advanced heat-treatment technology, the 300S features an ultra-compact 34mm slender pointed blade. This short tip profile allows you to reach inside dense fruit clusters—such as grapes, apples, pears, and tomatoes—to snip targeted stems cleanly without scratching adjacent produce or tearing tender skin. Fitted with ARS’s high-precision bolt-and-nut joint to maintain optimal blade tension over long term use, the 300S delivers unbeatable professional utility for daily harvesting and delicate canopy work.
