ARS Folding Curved Pruning Saw GR-17 [Total Length & Blade: 377mm (Folded: 230mm) / 170mm / Weight: 175g / High-Carbon Tool Steel / Hard Chrome Plated / Curved Blade / Dual-Grip]

Description

Manufactured by ARS Corporation in Sakai, Japan, the Folding Curved Pruning Saw GR-17 combines the high-speed cutting efficiency of a curved blade with the portability and safety of a compact folding saw. Designed for garden maintenance, orchard care, and landscape pruning, its curved profile naturally draws the teeth deep into wood fibers on every pull stroke without requiring heavy downward pressure.

Crafted from premium High-Carbon Tool Steel, the 170mm curved blade features an aggressive coarse tooth pitch (Large/Coarse Teeth) paired with ARS’s Ribbed Grind Technology to significantly reduce friction and prevent binding in fresh wood. The blade undergoes industrial-grade Hard Chrome Plating, providing exceptional resistance against rust, corrosion, and sticky tree sap while enhancing edge durability. Utilizing ARS’s precision mirror-ground tooth technology without tooth set (Non-Set Teeth), it creates smooth, surgical cut surfaces that protect living wood tissue against disease. Built with safety in mind, the heavy-duty lock system allows you to lock the saw securely in both open and fully closed positions, preventing accidental blade deployment. The ergonomic dual-injection rubber grip provides a cushioned, non-slip hold for precise control during heavy pull cuts.

(Compatible replacement blade No.GR-17-1 sold separately).

Key Features & Performance:

 Curved Blade Pull-Cutting Geometry: Curved edge automatically pulls teeth into timber on every stroke for effortless, high-velocity cutting.
