    We're talking the Xikar V-cutter, not a "V-cut", right? The two confuse me sometimes.

    Why do you like the wedge-shaped V-cutter over a regular guillotine? Both use two blades that meet to slice off part of the cap. Is it the ergonomics?

    I'm pretty sure we are all talking about a v-cut, which is performed by the Xikar V-cutter. I think you may be referring the the Xikar X1, X2 or X3 cutters which provide a straight cut.

    And it's the feel of still having part of the cap in place while having more draw than a punch. At least it is for me.

    The Xikar V-Cutter actually only uses one blade. And I'm with @CoachDread , I like the larger surface area of the cut while still keeping the cap intact.
