If one blade is good, two blades are better. The powerful double-guillotine action of the XiKar Cutter provides what Cigar Aficionado calls the best cigar cut. The lightweight fiberglass body encloses spring-loaded, hardened stainless steel blades that are hand-buffed using jeweler?s rouge and a felt-polishing wheel. This is the finest cutter I have ever used.
Made in Solingen, Germany, the XiKar blades are hardened to a Rockwell C rating of 55, the hardest, sharpest blade you can buy. The manufacturer is so sure you will never dull these blades, they even offer to re-sharpen them for free if you can prove them wrong!
