How do you sharpen a xikar cutter?

[Rockestone]

I have a Xikar cutter that I believe needs some sharpening. It tends to pinch more than cut. Any suggestions?

[fissure]

Send it back. They have a lifetime warranty and great customer service. They will make it like new, or send you another one.

Qft.


I am getting ready to send my lighter back to have it cleaned and have them check all the parts to make sure it works well.

I've seen retailers advertising them as such. Can't say I recall Xikar ever saying this.

If any cutter clams to be self sharpening I would have to call .

1. Xikar Xi3 Cutter - Redwood
Stainless Body with Redwood Handles - Self Sharpening Stainless Steel Blades

2. The makers of Xikar cutters use the latest technology to create razor sharp edges and self-sharpening steel blades.

3. Xikar cutters are not cigar toys. They are cigar tools. Each cutter is self sharpening, so every time you cut a cigar, the blade gets sharper,

Great. Enough said. I was feeling quilty about sending it back, but I'll get over it.

i have done it once....they sent me back a brand new cutter....there very easy to deal with

What's the difference between the X1,X2, and the X3?
Why is X2 cheaper?

the body of the cutter is nylon fiberglass composite,the blades are the same in all the cutters.
