I have a swiss army knife with the cigar cutter I use when I dont have the xikar with me, some times I have them both, depends on what cigar I am cutting & what pocket I reach into , I like a V Cut on torps, & have a table V cutter in the Qtr.Deck , it is a BIG S.O.B
the older xikar is about 3 years old & has never needed to be resharpened, but the release pin comes out at time, that one will get sent back, , I like the cutter , I like the v cut, I like the swiss army knife , what ever, as long as the cigar gets cut , lit & smoked
No Problem ! enjoy, Vince
