I have had that one for about 6 years now with no issues at all. I have a second lighter from Xikar, the ELX its currently only 2 years old but also no problems at all. My first cutter was the Xi and it too was over 10 years old when the blades got dull I sent it in and got a new one no questions asked. It too was pre leather pouch era and now has the pouch without my having to ask for it. Maybe I am just lucky with them but their customer service blew Colibri, Dunhill, and Prometheus. All of which they eventually fixed for a service fee and all were less then 2 years old.
Wouldn't the Xikar lighters be a little less $$$ if they weren't replacing 10yo lighters that were working perfectly fine?
