Finally bought myself a Xikar cutter.

[Coolhand]

I'm up to 3 different cutters now (not counting the cheapos you get as gimmes now and then). It's almost as bad as the cigars themselves!

I've heard you can get free sheaths for your Xikar lighters/cutters? I just got a new lighter about a week ago (lost my old one. ) ...

 

[Cuban Pete]

Yes, you have to send in the warranty card and they send you a leather sheath.

I just went to their website and registered the cutter. Got the sheath in two weeks.

Registered my cutter and lighter - hopefully they'll send a sheath for both. My last lighter was an Element with the blue finish, and I'd knocked a fair bit of the finish off just toting it around in my pocket.

Yeah, my experience with Xikar lighters is that they work great, but their finishes are not very durable.

good purchase with the Xikar i had one and loved it. I have since lost it and have been using either a cheapo or a knife right now the knife works better but is slow. i have to get me another Xikar. what Xikar did you get?

 

[Crypto Sailor]

Get yourself a Palio cutter!!!

 

[Coolhand]

I've a Palio cutter that has permanent residence in my fishing kit bag. Love the cutter.

The Xikar I got was simply the brushed-steel finish; it sort of matches the new lighter. Got several compliments on it today while taking lunch on a patio on Denver's 16th Street Mall.

I have a Xikar cutter and I love it, but I'm still looking at getting a Palio. It's mostly because I love gadgets.

Xi2 here... the Xikar has been really good so far... but like MP said... that Palio is calling my name too...

 

[Jfire]

Have a Xikar and Palio and a few cheapies. But Im buying another Palio to leave at the shop. It does cut just a slight bit better then the Xikar.

 

[Coolhand]

Never fails, just found my old Xikar Element lighter, heh. So now I have two.

 

[G-Dub96]

The best cutter I have ever owned! http://www.cubancrafters.com/products.php/item_id/370 13 bucks at local B&M.

 

[vperlman]

I have both a Palio and a Xikar. While both are excellent, I think the Palio is slightly better. I leave the Palio at home and carry the Xikar with me, so I won't be quite as crushed if I lose it. I also carry the Xikar multi-tool scissors on my key ring, so I'm never without a cutter. :yes:

 

[Hot_Sauce]

Congrats of the Xiker purchase. I've had my Xiker cutter for 7yrs now and it still cuts as good as the day I bought it.

 

[Josh K]

I've been meaning to try the scissors, but recently I use my Palio. I keep a small bullet punch on the keys, and in a pinch I have a good set of teeth.

I have had a Xikar for a couple of years now. I have had to send it back to be sharpened and the turn around time was very fast. I have both a lighter and cutter and they sent me the leather case for both. Would definitely recommend both.

Welcome rduke10, please stop by the intro thread and tell us about yourself...

Send it in to them and they will replace the lighter because the finish has worn off. Life time guarantee and they mean it.
