So after leaving my trusty Palio in a hotel room I decided I was going to buy a good cutter. Looked at XI2-3, XO and some others. I originally was thinking a XI2-3 as I’ve always really liked them, I always thought the XO was cool, but after trying it I found it too hard to cut and hold. To me a cutter has to feel right in the hand. The Ensō has a very similar design but far smoother action and ease to use. My only con is it’s a little thick on the body which can get in the way and can take some use to on lining up how much you want to take off.
