Xikar X8
This cutter as sharp as, say Xikar Xi2 or a palio?
And... Between the Xikar Xi1 and Xi2, are they same blades. |

Re: Xikar X8
As others have said you cannot go wrong with either Xikar or Palio. I have both and they are both great cutters. The Xikar X8 is thinner than the Palio, the X8 is flat and the Palio is contoured so if you like to use your cutter as a place to rest your cigar then I would go with the Palio.

Re: Xikar X8
I love my Xikar, it's 4 years old and still going strong. I agree with Remo, every Colibri I've had, and I've had several, seem to crush the cigars rather than cut them.

Re: Xikar X8
Guess that's why Colibri is always a freebie with purchases I have a Palio and Xi2 love them both

Re: Xikar X8
I have one, it is a wonderful cutter. No complaints at all. Sharp and tight. I do not have a Palio, but this feels similar to the ones I have tried.

Re: Xikar X8
Just ordered one (X8). Appreciate the advice. Looking forward to trying it out. Have some others that started out sharp, but dulled quickly and started tearing the cap, rather than cutting clean.

Re: Xikar X8
If you have Xikar cutters that have become dull, you can send them back to Xikar and they will sharpen or replace them for free -- like Palio they have a lifetime warranty.

Re: Xikar X8
have both the palio and xikar and love both..
funny that my favorite is the Xikar, but the better of the two is the palio as far as the cut.

Re: Xikar X8
At one point my old Xikar started acting dull and not cutting right either one side only would cut or it would crush before the cut. A quick email to Xikar with the response of wash it and if that doesnt fix it we will replace/repair it. One round in the dish washer and the blades were operating like new again. Now every few weeks I throw mine in the dishwasher.

Re: Xikar X8
Not sure how to make it dry. I wipe it off when I take it out open and close a couple of times and have never had a problem with residual water

Re: Xikar X8
Dishwasher... interesting. I clean my Palio with a q tip and isopropyl alcohol.

Re: Xikar X8
I don't have the time to look through all of these threads so forgive me if this has been discussed already somewhere else. I just got a Cuban Crafters Revolucion off of amazon for $20 and a little bit. I was curious if any of you guys use one and what do you think? I have been very satisfied with mine so far. Plus they claim a life time guarantee.

Given that you don't currently have the time, you should consider starting your own thread about the Revolucion. This thread is about the Xikar X8. Less confusing that way and respectful to the thread starter here.
