You literally have to get onto Mexican internet and speak Spanish to find that shit. There's a few other tools that are super hard to find in the USA like that. A good "Metate y Metlapil" is hard to find, most are not designed correctly. A Molcajete is much easier to find, but there are lots of cement fakes. I lucked out and found one at an antique store. Fast forward ten years and they are everywhere online.

But, at least it has been getting easier the older the internet gets.

The problem with a coa is they are extremely specific tools used only where agave are farmed. Hooking into that sort of market will require some research beyond google and a translator.

Good luck.

just go to a weld shop or make one yourself

it's a very simple tool. I'll make you one for 50 bucks and you pay shipping.

get a good carbon-steel shovel and remove the paint. Heat it up and smash it into the shape you want. Then, you have to file in the rough shape and heat to bright yellow before quenching in warm oil of some kind. Motoroil works pretty well. Then take it and degrease it before placing it in an over at around 375-400 deg for at least an hour at a time, letting it cool to room temp each time. This should soften the hardened metal enough to file an edge on there.

Im mexican and im not even know where to buy one. You better go with a blacksmith
