Xikar cutter?

[jcgoldner]

Brothers

I'm looking to upgrade my cutter from the cheapies and the freebies I've been using. I'm intrigued by the Xikar cutter. I don't need the higher priced XI model so I'm just looking at the XI2. Anyone use this cutter or know if it's any good?

Thanks
John

I like it a lot. There is a guy on CW with a new rosewood one for $50 shipped which is a good deal

I love my Xikar. I got mine on Ebay for like $25.

I haven't ever used one. i like my Palio though.

Nothing at all wrong with the Xikar...currently my go-to cutter.

I have the XI3 redwood and i love it... i had always just used a cheapy but damn i love this thing.. look on ebay or just wait around for while and i am sure somebody will have one for sale...

My preference is my SAK Slimline, works great and looks very classy with the brushed metal finish.

I have both a Xicar as well as a Palio and I switch between both. They are both great cutters.

I am afraid of loosing an expensive cutter if I got one. I have hard enough time keeping track of my cheap freebie cutter. I got another freebie punch cutter that I have been using occasionally too which does a pretty nice job.

Sounds like those that have it really like it so my mind is made up. I just placed an order for one! Thanks guys.

You will like it...I have 2...one for the house and one for the truck. Great cutters!

I have a Xi2 and love it. I have been wanting to invest in a Xi MTX Multi Tool, but every time I go to order one I spend the money on cigars instead.

I know most of you aren't big fans of Thompson's, but since I keep getting stupid catalogs, I decided to actually look at one and they're advertising 3 Xikar cutters for $65. Doesn't say which specific model.

 

[Jwrussell]

It's the cheapest of the cheapest. I seem to remember looking it up the last time I saw that deal and it's not bad, but not all that great either. Pretty typical for Thompsons.

I have the XI3 with the zebrawood handles. Bought it on ebay for $50 including shipping. It works excellent!!

 

[caudio51]

I have the XI1 which I got for 37.01 shipped. So far I am really enjoying it!

I have one and love it. A bunch of us on another board did some splits from thompson. They were and still have 3 fer $65.

I thought about going in on the 3 fer, but you have to add shipping to the price, then somebody has to pay for shipping out the other 2 so its not that much cheaper than grabbing one on ebay.
