Truper 10896 / COA-AG - Agave Cutter W/ 43" Wood Handle

Worked great out of the box on large Agave.

Big and heavy, it's essentially a flat, sharp, shovel. It has one purpose, which is severing the toxic sap agave you need to trim because it froze or the leaves rot or the cockroaches love it or you're making tequila. That's the only use. Once you're done with it you can stand on the corner of your lot with a big 7 inch brim hat lording over your perfectly-manicured agave sipping tequila and holding the Coa in your hand, blade up and away from your body like a conquering champion in the arena.

It’s pretty cool, I thought it’d be smaller but it’s still cool

Will need to sharpen before use. The tool is heavy and works perfectly when sharp.

I am REALLY disappointed with this, especially considering what I paid for it. It's listed specifically as an agave cutter, but it won't cut agave. I haven't tried to sharpen it, but shouldn't need to do anything to a brand new tool to make it actually serve it's purpose. I would NOT recommend this.

It is a strong item and is exactly what I needed

Cuts through my 4 foot tall agave Americanas like it is slicing butter. Arrive well packaged and sharp enough to cut down an agave in under 5 minutes. This is the same tool used by the tequila industry to harvest plants. There are youtube videos that show the pros harvesting which I found helpful.

Outstanding product would recommend this product to others for cutting down or trimming agave plants
