Which cutter?

[westb182]

I'm looking for a inexpensive cutter.
Catch is I can only order it from one website as out here (as I'm going to order some crystals for the humidor), my choices are limited and I won't be back in the USA for a few months.
Something portable that I can place in my pocket and wont open up and stab me in the leg...

Sorry, the site's in Polish, but the photos are self explanatory.

Cutters all look the same in pics to me - hard to tell the quality from a pic, and there are lots of knock-off's.

I'm also wondering if that Xikar is really a Xikar.

BTW, please post an intro!

Yeah, that "Xikar" is no such thing, Maybe "Obcinarka typu "Xikar"" means "compare to Xikar"?

That will get them into trouble... the main body looks like a direct copy.


Even with cheap cutters, I would recommend a double guillotine.

Obcinarka typu "Xikar" is cigar cutter type Xikar

My girlfriends uncle had a cutter similar to the one you like. I used it while over their house one day and it destroyed my cigar. Ripped the wrapper like Ive never seen. In general I have never had any luck with single blade. Go with a double blade. They all seem to cut decent, as long as you know how to cut.

this isn't quite on topic, but have any of you guys tried those tri-blade scissor looking cutters,a nd if so what do you think of them? I've been eying one at the local B&M, but I'm kinda leery of paying 30 bucks for something that would be just as effective as my 5 dollar dual blade one.
