ARTERO’s family history begins in Manresa, Spain in 1909, when Pascual Artero sold horse-shearing tools. Subsequent generations expanded into barbering, cutlery and salon products. That Spanish business history does not identify where any particular current blade is manufactured, so check the selected model’s origin separately.
The current US Excalibur sheet names 440C stainless steel, a concave blade, semi-offset handle and removable finger rest. The published hardness is a claim for that model, not a range-wide figure or an independent edge-life test. The US cutting catalogue lists other cutters, including One, Epika and Satin. Do not transfer the Excalibur material or price to them.
ARTERO also lists thinning and grooming tools; check that a shear you see is intended for hairdressing rather than pet grooming. Technique labels such as slide or point work belong to particular blades, not the entire brand.
Request the exact SKU, hand, blade length, steel and intended technique from the current market listing. Confirm where that model is made if country of manufacture matters to you. Shipping, return and service terms on the US site may differ from a UK stockist’s offer; compare the written terms for the seller you choose.
