Yeah, I picked up a silver one from Heartfelt during Viper's pre-Christmas cutter discount and had to take a file to it to clean up the sharp edges, just like my black one. Now I have a silver cutter with a couple black splotches where I didn't have the file perfectly perpendicular (My excuse is it has been over 25 years since I made dies and worked with files). The paint doesn't cover the tracks (for lack of a better word) of the Palio, so it looks kinda funny in silver when it is open. The CF would be neat, but I'd want to see one in-person first.

The key with teeth (and fingernails) is to wet the cap first and nibble a punch-sized hole. A cutter is faster for me.
