New Xikar VX V-Cut - Page 2

I will probably give it a try when they come out. Its not even on their website yet.

I'll have to try one of these, I've never used a v-cut before

$50 is too much to spend on one IMO, but I will grab one on one of the daily deal sites then they are half that. My father in law prefers a V cut so it'll be a good gift.

I'm a big V-Cut guy. I V-Cut almost everything lately except for torpedos and perfectos. I have a couple much cheaper cutters that serve me well so dropping $50 on a Xikar may be tough since the cheaper ones that I have give me pretty solid results every time but I will never say never since I have been very happy with all of my Xikar products plus it's tough to beat the life time warranties. Once they are out for a while I will watch C-Bid and the like for one. I may have to find myself one of these Wolf cutters that has been mentioned a couple of times. To be honest I have been hoping that Xikar or Palio would come out with one but I guess it should have been expected that they would be pricier than most.

The thing with a v-cutter is that even the cheap ones almost never get too dull to make a good cut. I've had a $3.00 v-cutter for several years and it cuts the same now as the day I got it.

I am a V-cut fan. I use the wood Boston Cutter knockoff for $20. The cut is nice and deep. How is the cut on this Xicar? Is it deep? Most plastic V-cutters are not very deep.

The V-Cut works well on a torpedo. I just put the point in and cut. If the draw is not what I want then I put the end in and cross cut another V. Works perfect. Here is a Cain torpedo V cut twice.

You should be able to see from the pic above it makes a nice deep cut, and it is not plastic.

The Xikar appears to have the same blade as the Wolf cutter, just in a heavier body. I doubt that you'll find the Xikar going for Wolf prices though, even at auction.

What appears to be a heavier body of the Xikar might be nice though, I have a Wolf and I always felt that the cutter was too flexible and felt "cheap" "light" and "flimsy" in my hand. The cut is great, but just feels like I'm going to break it if I were to use it forcefully.

I have a palio and a Xi as well as cheap V cutters/guillotines. Right now I'm loving the Xi but this cutter seems interesting. The price at $50 isn't right, I'd pay $30-$35 though.

My buddy is a Xicar dealer. If anyone wants I can inquire and certainly get these for about 35% less than the $50 price tag. Just let me know as I am sure he will order these in. Same goes with anything Xicar.
