The ARS range is a top quality Japanese brand.  The saw has a blade made from high carbon steel with hard Chrome plating, which makes it extremely strong, while also being corrosion resistant.  The sharp teeth are placed in such a way that allows for quick cutting with less effort.The blade is patented because of its unique design.  The handle is an injection-moulded plastic handle, which makes it difficult to break and it has a safety lock to keep the blade open when in use. The blade can be folded away into the handle as a safety precaution when not is use.
