Professional Opinion
Two body options give the Cirrus an interesting split personality. The Slim rewards controlled technical and tapering work, while the Fat's weighted blades suit powerful chopping, so it is worth thinking about which techniques fill your day before choosing. Both come in 5.5 and 6.0 inch with an ATS-314 cobalt core.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
