Palio! Cuts like butter every time and if you ever have a problem (you won't) their customer service is excellent.

What happens is that over time, tobacco oils coat the blades and cutting surfaces, making them appear dull and providing a lousy cut. Clean, either of these cutters should last more than a lifetime, but dirty, neither will do the job satisfactorily.

+1. Though I just use a q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol, only because those 2 items are always around my house.

I have both and I like the action of the Palio much more. The Xikar seems more unnatural to me.

Surely the Coke vs Pepsi is a little more one sided... I mean one is delicious and the other tastes like dirty mop water! :D

I think it is a personal preference, I love my Palio but don't have enough experience with the Xikar ones to form an opinion.
