I am fine with that. I am one of the most "fair minded" people you will find. This reminds me of the Tommy Boy movie and the "guaranteed piece of shit" line. A lifetime guarantee usually implies to me that you are not making a quality product for sale.
In the fly fishing industry there is nobody that has a better warranty than Orvis. But their product is also one of the worst on the market accross the board. So you can buy a new fly rod from them for $695.00 and know that you will get a few good trips out of it until you have problems. Then you can send the product back to them and they will send you a replacement that you can go and fish a few more trips. Eventually you are going to break it at a time that is not good, on a trip to Alaska is a great example.
What good is the cutter to Daigz if he can't use it? Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I am just simply saying that Xikar is not for me. I have spent money on their products and have been relatively happy with them. Like I said in my original post, they look amazing. Their lines and design are incredible. But I choose function over form and if it is not working I don't need it. Looking on this board I saw more stories of Xikar broken than all other accessory companies combined. You sir are welcome to continue to influx their company with your hard earned cash, I simply would like to spend my money on sticks.
I hope I have explained my position well.
