New Toy

[bigwhiteash]

Well, after botching a cut on a super premium, I figured it was time to bite the bullet, pull the trigger, or, go ahead and get one!

Ordered this on Friday, and Heartfelt Industries had it in my mailbox today! Outstanding Service



Then I went to Xikar.com to register it, and they're sending me a free leather sheath!

This thing is much heavier than I expected it to be, very well made device.

nice, you'll be very pleased with your warranty as well. I've sent mine back 2 times and both times got a brand new cutter.

[bigwhiteash]

Did you send it back due to defects? or was it just well used?

[chefchris]

Just wear and tear. It will start sticking or get dull. One time I dropped it and it exploded. I just put all the parts in a ziploc bag and sent it to them. In a week I had a brand new one.

Same thing just happened to me. Threw it in a envelope with a note, and got a brand new one in about a week or so.

Btw, thats a nice looking cutter. You'll be pleased with it.

Let us know how you like that cutter. I've heard from many people that Palios are the way to go, but who knows.

[bigwhiteash]

well, so far, It's taking a bit to get used to the different grip used, compared to the thumb-finger loop style that I'm accustomed to. but I really like the heft it has, and it's plenty sharp.

My next cutter will probably be a Palio, just because I've heard a lot of good things as well. Mainly that the blades are thinner, giving less resistance.

Nice........I'm still resisting, but I'm getting closer to caving in.

Me too. My buddies pick on me when I pull out my $1 cutter to cut a nice cigar. I won a nice dunhill round cutter. But the first time I used it I had a hard time cutting with it so I gave up. Might try it again.

Do I ever know how that feels......I usually get the double whammy....$1 cutter and $.99 bic lighter. They hang the shit, I just smile and say , my smoke still tastes like a Padron!!

Is there a big quality difference between the different Xikar models. I have an Xi2 (the cheapest one) and it is ok, but I also have a Palio which I love. But because I am weird I guess, I feel the need to have more than one nice cutter. I wouldn't have a big issue with paying for a different model but wondered if I would basically get the same quality. If so, I'll just wait and get another Palio in a different finish.

[bigwhiteash]

I believe the cutting blades are the same on all models, even the $300.00+ "Mammoth" model.

Basically, i think you just pay for the different materials / finishes.

Very pretty

Nice purchase, Dennis! I've enjoyed my Xikar cutter for 2-3 years now and have had no issues with it (knock on wood). Thinking about getting a Palio though for my next cutter. Either way, cutting the cigar is just a small part of the cigar experience.

Just a thought - that big day in June is coming up - Fathers Day - good time to
leave a snapshot of the one you want on the kitchen table (Even if your not a
father - you could be)
