ARS VS-9X-2 cutting blade
ARS VS-9X-2 – original replacement part
What is this part?
The cutting blade is the sharp, curved blade that actually severs the branch. It wears fastest, because it is the part in contact with the wood on every cut.
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.
