ARS 300L harvesting shears
ARS 300L harvesting shears – 46 mm blade, 110 g
The longer-bladed version
The 46 mm blade of the 300L gives a longer cutting edge, which helps on thicker stalks and vegetable stems. At 190 mm overall and 110 grams it stays kind to the hand through a full day of harvesting.
How do they differ from pruning shears?
Harvesting shears are not built for woody branches but for stalks, stems and flowers. The blade is therefore more pointed and thinner, which lets you reach the exact cutting point inside a dense bunch or canopy without damaging the crop. For thicker branches, the pruning shears are the right tool.
A light build
When harvesting, the weight of the tool tells on the hundredth cut rather than the first. The combination of 110 grams and a high-carbon steel blade means the tool is still accurate after a full day. Used in viticulture, orchards, vegetable growing, nurseries and floristry alike.
Comparing the two models
The choice depends on the work: a shorter blade for finer control, a longer one for thicker stems.
| Model | Overall length | Blade length | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300L (this product) | 190 mm | 46 mm | 110 g |
| 300SS | 170 mm | 31 mm | 100 g |
Cleaning and storage
Fruit juice and plant sap on the blade quickly form a sticky layer that degrades the cut and can carry pathogens from plant to plant. Wipe the blade after use; the ARS GO-1 blade cleaner is made for it. For carrying and storage, the ARS SH-VSZ holster is a good match.
