Time to upgrade my $3 guillotine cutter.....

The only cutter I have right now is a $3 double bladed guillotine. It is starting to get dull. I have never tried a XiKar, Palio, or punch cutter. What do you guys and girls recommend. Let me know your experiences with these or other cutters. Any recommendations would be appreciated.


Thanks

I'm partial to Xikar. Go check out their section... great product and the customer service is excellent.

I have both and I like my Xikar if I had to choose. Warranty is top notch too.

I personally would not want any other cutter. Had mine a good while now.

I now have 3 Xikar cutters, the first of which is like 3 yrs old. It has been my go-to for the entire time up till recently. I have started using a V cutter that I received in a Christmas bomb. I really like it, but the Xikar continues to be my favorite.

I have a Xikar, but I gotta say I've been more impressed with the cut I get from a Palio. (I don't have a Palio, but I've borrowed quite a few. ) I guess it could be that I just need to get my Xikar sharpened or something.

i like/have a xicar, but i recently used a credo and it blew my mind. it cut the stick like a hot knife through butter; didnt leave shavings in the cutter like a xikar either. its a nice combo between a double guillotine and scissors. at least check it out before you buy.

I use both the Palio and a Xikar - can't go wrong either way.
