As I mentioend before mine fell apart but I was able to put it all back together. Then the plastic on one of the pop-out sides fell off! WTF! Remember this was only a month or so old.

So I contacted Xikar customer service. They immediately returned my email and not only were they going to replace the cutter . . . they offered to send me the better all metal version Xi instead of the Xi2 plastic one I had before.

Xikar ROCKS!
