Xikar Xi3 or Palio cutter? - Page 2

Blak Smyth · 12-20-2011, 09:43 AM

I lost count but I beileve it is 12-2 in favor of the Palio!

DennisP · 12-20-2011, 10:18 AM

Palio is better than Xi3, but I like the X8 the best.

Sonic04GT · 12-20-2011, 11:21 AM

Wow, thanks for all of the responses! Looks like its going to be a Palio haha maybe a xikar later down the line.

ApexAZ · 12-20-2011, 01:25 PM

I like my palio a lot. I've used xikars too and they work well also.

theonlybear4CORT · 12-20-2011, 02:20 PM

Don't forget the xikar slim, I keep that in my wallet. Best damn cutter I have used.

DMK · 12-20-2011, 05:29 PM

I have the Xikar Xi3 Tech, and I love it. Don't have a Palio, but I think it will be a soon purchase.

DTM · 12-20-2011, 05:51 PM

Was just gifted a Xikar. Have used it several times, its good, but my Palio just seems all around better.

celtic250 · 12-20-2011, 08:03 PM

I have 2 Xi3's and love them both. I just purchased my dad a Palio for Christmas and believe I will be purchasing one for myself soon.

Pat1075 · 12-21-2011, 12:22 AM

Xi3 I tried the palio and didn't care for it

Bill86 · 12-21-2011, 12:34 AM

Punch or MTX scissors.

What he said. I've had both and preferred the Xi3 but there isn't anything wrong with the Palio. They are both great cutters. The Xikar X8 is another to look at... very nice cutter and a bit less expensive.

Only ONE is made completely in the U.S.A

Had a Palio burlwood and was happy with it for the most part. Was not too smooth in it's action though. Got a Xikar Xi3 carbon and it screams quality. Use the Xikar 100% of the time now.

darkleeroy · 02-05-2012, 10:56 PM

I have both, I prefer using the Xikar. I can't complain about the cut of either though.

hapi · 02-05-2012, 11:19 PM

I have palio and xikar. xikar beautiful. palio not so much.

icehog3 · 02-05-2012, 11:25 PM

I have both.... Use the Palio, as even if the XiKar looks nice, the Palio cuts nice.

ApexAZ · 02-05-2012, 11:33 PM

After owning my palio for a while now, I feel like it doesn't cut as well as the xikars I've used, which to be fair, hasn't been much since I don't own both. It seems like my palio went dull fast. It could very much be user error though. It did seem sharper when I first got it.

TJtorpedo · 02-06-2012, 07:23 PM

I had one of the first plastic Xikars as my first "real" cutter (the Xi1?). it was ok, but I swtiched over soon after to a Palio and never looked back...

Yes sir...Xikar looks cool but the Palio is a fine tool that does it's job perfectly.

Well over 1,000 cigars cut and the blades are just as sharp as when it was new.

Sonic04GT · 02-06-2012, 08:14 PM

Guess this thread got bumped again haha I ended up getting the Palio.
