Xikar help

This is for anyone that has the Xikar cigar cutter(the xi2 style). My friend gifted me this for my birthday because the place he went to said that palios were no longer around

So it seems lately that all it does is mess the cigar up. The cut it not straight at all, and about 1 out of 8 times it just crushes the cigar and splits the wrapper

I don't think I can take it to loose another good cigar due to this cutter. So any last ideas before i try to find a palio? Its only a couple months old so I wouldn't think it needs sharpened already. I would like to keep it as one of my best friends got it for me im just getting very annoyed with it.
