Xicar X8 Camo Cutter

[Lunacris13]

Should I or should I not? I'm debating on buying the X8 cutter: the debate is black (found for $19) or camo (found for $30). I know it shouldn't be this hard of a decision. Background, I'm a hunter and think the camo would be pretty cool...but....do I need to spend the extra money? Looking for you all to push me one way or the other.

Go with the black and buy yourself a nice $10 smoke to celebrate buying a new cutter.

Thats right there sounds like a pretty damn good idea.

how many cutters do you already have?

me personally.. I like having a couple of "nice" cutters and torches.. (not necessarily the best performing.. but things that feel/look nice for display and/or use on special occasion, etc..for example, I think it would be cool to have a "camo" cutter and torch to use when at the hunting camp.. but probably wouldnt use them much outside of there..)..

but.. I also keep several "cheap" accessories around for daily use.. Ive got several ronson torches, lower cost xikar and colibri cutters, etc.. I keep them in the truck, in my brief case, in my desk drawer, etc..etc.. so that Ive always got something around when I need it..

I've got what I would consider to be a good selection. I've got some cheap ones for the garage and golf course, I've got a colibri, a v-cutter, a montecristo slide and some other randoms. I tried my buddy @Rexinator989 X8 cutter and it's amazing, perfect cut every time. Seems like this will be my next purchase.

@Dick Leighton & @JG358 - haha I like what you're thinking!

get the black one... and paint it orange. that way you dont drop and lose it while out in the wilderness. if you drop the camo cutter, you might not ever find it again.

Go with the camo!!! But I'd take that bad boy out only for home and deer camp. Just don't bring into the woods while hunting.

If you really like the camo I say get it. What's the extra $11 for a cutter that will last you technically a lifetime?

I see a lot of black cutters, but not any camo cutters while hanging out with my buddies or at the B&M's I go to. I have a plain black Xikar that I got for free with a cigar purchase when I first started ordering cigars online and I bought a cool looking, special edition Xikar a couple of years ago. They both cut the same, but guess which one I use more. Yep, the cooler looking one.

Good luck on your purchase. You can't really go wrong with a Xikar .
