I've posted a lot in this thread so you've probably read my posts. Do a search for Palio and you find other posts about them.

Isn't that what we have been talking about the whole time?

I have used both, and have many customer complaints about the Palio

I said in a previous thread:

Davidoff FTW, Xicar for close second, I am a dealer for Davidoff, Boston Cigar Cutter, Palio, and Xicar.

Palio cutters are way overated. As a machinist (A hobby of mine is Millling) they ground a very impressive blade but their blade is circular, it puts uneeded pressure on the cigar in one spot and works to try and chop off the head of the cigar.

Xicar and the Expensive Davidoff Cutters use an angled blade that slices the head.

For centurys guillotines use an angle blade rather than a circular blade. It's more efficient and used through the centurys to lop off people's heads.

Palio seems to be an internet thing, as I could barely give em away to customers and they hated them (I love it when they try to return stuff I give out for free.)

Xicars won favor, even the cheap Half Plastic Xicar cutter in the Cohiba gift pack could stand more abuse than the Palio

Palio is not an "internet thing" as you say, many of the respected vendors here have many good things to say about Palio. Many, many people, contrary to your store (which you seem to be trying to sell everyone on) would prefer them over the Xikar.

Oh and since you are "giving them away", I will take the rest of your stock

These are awesome cutters. I've contacted them about trying to get them in my shop. Maybe soon.

I have a Palio Carbon Fiber as well as a Xikar with Wood Burl handles. I have to say that the Palio is just a bit better than the Xikar IMO. I could not be more pleased with my Palio.
