Any feedback on the Xikar X8?

Damn those do look nice......I might get one of those with the new Xikar V-cut when it comes out.

I love mine. When I first saw a pic of them I wasn't impressed. I thought the plastic looked cheap for $25. I was at an event one night in Lawrence KS and one of the founders of Xikar was there. I mentioned how I don't really like the butterfly type cutters and he asked if I tried one of the X8s. I said I had not so he had me cut a smoke with it. Lets just say I ended up buying one that night. Very nice cut and will handle a large ring guage. And the same hard steel and sharpness as the Xi cutters. You can't really go wrong as far as I'm concerned. I will likely end up with a 2nd one.
