xikar cutter worth the price?

whoops.

Actually just got mine (off of cbid for $22.00)

My other cutter, which I have had for about 6 years now, is colibri that cost me $60 and I have been very happy with it. It's just a guillotine that you can replace the blade on.

So far I am at least equally happy with my Xikar. Still don't know if it's "better" but it is indeed much cooler. Delivers a nice cut and it's a conversation piece.

Also, I have heard they have great CS.

Well, you could get a xicar for around 22, or if you spend around 40, you can get yourself a colibri lighter off ebay (use the vendor mydiscountlighters) that has a cutter or three different sized punches built-in (the three punch one, the 'Tri-cutta', is what I have and it rocks). Only downside is they cannot go on airplanes, not even in checked luggage anymore.
