What are the advantages of CIMO axes?
CIMO understands the difference like no one else! That's why our axes come with exclusive technologies that set them apart from others on the market, taking your user experience to another level. Here are some examples:
- Structure with hex keys: this ensures greater strength and facilitates axe maintenance, making it even more durable;
- Full tang cutting: the blade is integrated into the handle, which increases the axe's robustness and resistance, providing greater safety and durability during use;
- Hollow grind sharpening: the blade is specially sharpened to ensure greater cutting efficiency, allowing the axe to maintain its sharpness for longer;
- Tricationic phosphate paint: offers maximum resistance to carbon steel oxidation, ensuring a robust, resistant, and durable final product.
