How do you sharpen a xikar cutter?

[fissure]

Send it back. They have a lifetime warranty and great customer service. They will make it like new, or send you another one.

Qft.


I am getting ready to send my lighter back to have it cleaned and have them check all the parts to make sure it works well.

I've seen retailers advertising them as such. Can't say I recall Xikar ever saying this.

If any cutter clams to be self sharpening I would have to call .

as most have said send it back, also lets not make this into a palio v.s. Xikar debate.

Just got back my Xikar, it was a new one (different color).

I sent in black - got silver in return. If you want the same color back, you should send a note saying such.

1. Xikar Xi3 Cutter - Redwood
Stainless Body with Redwood Handles - Self Sharpening Stainless Steel Blades

2. The makers of Xikar cutters use the latest technology to create razor sharp edges and self-sharpening steel blades.

3. Xikar cutters are not cigar toys. They are cigar tools. Each cutter is self sharpening, so every time you cut a cigar, the blade gets sharper,

You good or do you need more?

Xikar makes no claims about being self-sharpening anywhere on their site I can see, so "caveat emptor". If CI and other sites want to advertise it as such, well so be it.


Personally, I've had my Xikar for about 4 years and it's still every bit as sharp as my pocketknife.

You think they these retailers just decided to call the blades self sharpening on their own?
