Xikar Problems

A lot times the binding is just from debris getting stuck in the tracks. Check to see if there are any flakes of tobacco stick in the tracks, if so, you can use a toothpick or straightened paper clip to try and knock them out. Additionally, you can use rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to clean any grime out of the trackways and on the blade surfaces. If that doesn't do it, then it could be damaged, bent or whatever is in there is something that you won't be able to get out, so it seems justifiable to go ahead and send it in for replacement.
