ARS VS-8X-1 blade set
ARS VS-8X-1 – original replacement part
What is this part?
The blade set contains both the cutting blade and the counter blade. If both are worn, this is the more economical option than buying them separately.
When is it worth replacing?
If the cut is no longer clean, the branch tears or gets pinched, and sharpening no longer helps, the blade is worn out. A crushed cut face is not just a cosmetic issue: it is an open door to fungal infection, so it matters for the health of the plant too. The ARS SD-100-BT sharpener can be used for sharpening, but past a certain point only replacement restores the original performance.
