Where to buy a coa de jima tool

A coa, also known as a “coa de jima,” is a specialized tool for shearing off agave pencas. It has a standard tool handle and a large round blade at the business end. While it seems that coas are most frequently used in Jalisco to harvest blue agave for tequila, they are frequently found wherever agaves are harvested.

The word "jima" comes from Náhuatl and means "to shave or cut", which is precisely what a jimador does; he shaves the agaves by removing the pencas or leaves, leaving only the core and heart of the plant. But the job of a jimador does not only mean cutting every agave he sees.
