I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap

03-15-2009, 11:32 PM

Seriously though, the thing cut's great but damn it looks and feels cheap. I wonder why they cant make a all stainless or something. I would love to have this blade in a nice heavy frame. What do you guys think about their look?

I am more concerned with function than with form.

I could give 2 shits what it looks like, when it cuts like it does -- that's all I need.

Nope

Function over Form is correct

Function being the action for which athing is specially fitted or used or for which a thing exists

Form being the shape and structure of something as distinguished from its material

Hence I believe the douchebag was correct in his usage of the term.

But WTF do I know

But the raw plastic, burl, silver and even gold plated platinum may have identical form.

Yes, but their functions are different. My neighbor Ari is a mohel. I gave Ari my gold one to do his business since he was so enamored with it one evening when he was over.

My silver one is for Thursdays.

My burl one is for ... well ... those special moments when I'm driving my Plymouth K-car wagon with authentic genuine fake wood trim.

OK ... I lied.

My neighbor's name is David.

I think the simple look is just fine. I don't think it looks or feels cheap at all.

03-15-2009, 11:39 PM

I am also tired of this cutter coming off it's tracks. It feels like it's sticking too when I open it. I cleaned it out numerous times.

The manufacturer stands behind them and will fix or replace it free. The owner happens to be a member here.

I find it curious your first two posts here are to rip on Palio. Smells of an agenda to me.....apologies if I am wrong.

I've had mine for about a year now, maybe more. I still love it. I like the look, the feel and the job it does.

03-15-2009, 11:53 PM

I love my Palios I have used them exclusively for over a year and converted many BOTL's as well as run two group buys for them. I like them so much I accidently gave my last on away to a guy I was herfing with that really liked it after he tried it. Lucky for me a great BOTL hooked me up with a new one. I have cut probably 1000 cigars with Palio and never had a single problem or bad cut.

But what the hell do I know I am just a dumbass Canadian

Well your wrong about your conspiracy theory

. I don't care for Xikar's either. I just wish their were more than 2 cutters that are very good for under 50$. I just want something different.

Savor the Stick · 03-16-2009, 01:47 AM

I have 2 Palio's. Don't care for them myself. There does seem to be a learning curve to using them correctly. I had a Cuban Crafter perfection cutter and still find myself reaching for that one first.

Palio is a really good cutter a lot of B/SOTL reach for them first.

Like what you use, use what you like.

Just my worth.

Peace
