Cutters

It's time to replace the double edge cutters, never needed to buy any over the yrs. retailers would include them with a purchase. Tried the cutter shown below for the first time at local B&M and I was impressed. Both are Xikar in the $40-$50 range, seem expensive but if they hold an edge may be worth it. Thought I would check before pulling the trigger to see if any members have tried them and has an opinion. Any suggestions, rec's, and or source would be appreciated. Thank you!.

Re: Cutters

these are really popular, i am sure a ton of people will chime in shortly --
just for giggles, tryout the search engine, too lazy to check myself, but i am sure there has to be at least one or two big threads about it!
Good luck with your cutter search.

Re: Cutters

Although I haven't used the Xikar, I have held one and wasn't impressed. My Palio on the other hand, now thats a cutter.

Re: Cutters

I love xikar cutter's great cut and a lifetime warranty which both retailers and xikar themselves honor. I'm on my second right now I gave my old one away when I wanted a nicer looking one.

Re: Cutters

Get the Palio, I didn't know what a good cutter was until I got one. You can get them on eBay. Here is a link.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Palio-Original-C...QQcmdZViewItem

It's not a scam or a knockoff, the seller is a member of this forum. You can submit an offer, I paid $31 for mine shipped, worth every penny.

Re: Cutters

Not sure why I have a problem using the CS search engine, could not find any threads on topic.

Appreciate the information, appears majority find the Palio the cutter of choice, even for those who have both. Searched the various online sources and did not find much of a difference in price. See there was a group buy several months past, being an impulse buyer intend pulling the trigger in the next day or so. Currently waiting for shipment to arrive from retailer I used for the first time, if I find they sell quality merchandise then likely purchase from them. Again, thank yu for the prompt response.

Re: Cutters

There is only one word for cutter in my book: Palio.

You won't be sorry, I thought it was mostly hype, then I bought one. Its not. These guys are right on. Hope that helps.
