Did this a few weeks ago, was at a hotel and had forgotten my cutter at home. Worked great.

I cant believe I missed this. I have almost every cutter known to man but its the knife that always gives me the cut I want.

Nice one! Another justified tool.

Anyone have tips on making a V cut with a knife?

Great post, I have destroyed the end of cigars many a time with a Ginsu, lol. If I don't have a cutter and I am smoking anything but a Torpedo, I gently remove the cap with my teeth. I will get the end pretty wet, not soaked, roll it around a bit in my mouth and start to loosen the cap with my teeth. The cap comes off with no mess and I have never had a cigar unravel.

I've been using this technique for a couple of weeks now and love it. I always have a knife or two with me and I really like the draw if gives.
