Xikar Warranty Question

I just want to make sure my understanding is correct.

If my Xikar lighter has an issue ever, I simply take it to an authorized dealer and they will replace it from inventory and deal with you for a replacement? Is that correct? Is it the same for cutters or do I have to send those in?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick help StevieRay!

Addiction, we strongly encourage all our dealers to facilitate an over-the-counter enchange policy for ANYTHING with our name on it (lighters, cutters, cases...etc.).

I can not guarantee 100% of dealers will do this but most will. Sending it in to us is always your backup. You can search for local dealers here:

Think this was a great approach to add this to your warranty policy.

It's nice to see Xikar taking this approach. I always provide over the counter replacement, but didn't know if it was the authorized way to handle this!

I was out of town this week and took another cutter so sent my Xikar before I left. The new one was here before I returned.

I think they actually sent a brand new one instead of repairing the old one. If not, they sure cleaned it up nicely because it looks brand new.

Re: Xikar Warranty Question

I got one of those cutters with the wooden handles. Within a month one fell off and within 4 months both were gone.

Re: Xikar Warranty Question

My local shop has replaced 2 Xikar lighters for me. They charge $3 per replacement. The charge is for shipping the faulty lighter back to Xikar.

Re: Xikar Warranty Question

Good day sir, I just bought a 007 bullet cutter and a Xi3 STK... I have not used either one yet... too cold to smoke! Anyway my question/problem is in the booklet that came with the 007 has a warrenty card... but it looks like the warrenty card from the Xi3 booklet was ripped out... does that matter, what should I do? Or do you even have to fill them out?
