    Caps maybe a little cleaner with the Xikar?


    Close up of the serrations- they aren't that pronounced - before purchase I pictured them being more like two steak knives coming together, but the photo shows otherwise. (Look at the back of the right-side blade)

    You know I heard of a trick early on with the xikar. I never really use it but place xikar on a table insert cigar until the cap is touching table then close xikar to cut cigar

    I used to do that all the time, but depending on the cigar, you can cut too much off sometimes. I like to try to just barely slice the cap off.

    Cuts look great with it - doesn't look like it tears at all. I thought the blade serrations were bigger as well. You may have sold me
    No cigar until you get a par - birdie if it's a scramble !

    A little over a year, and this has planted itself as my go-to cutter.

    And it gets even better...

    After my heart sank when I dropped it in the sand, I put it away and figured a year was a good run. Then I got to looking at it as I was trying to blow it out and flush it w/alcohol. I noticed some tiny torx screws and went for it.

    So easy and I got to clean it all out, polish the blades, and even snugged up on the torx screws to the thumb holds. I love this thing!

    I use the one you sent me as my go to in my home smoking "lounge". Love it, perfect cut every time. Already bought another for the enclosed cigar smoking porch and I'm sure it won't be long before I grab another for the golf bag. I only hope then my car doesn't get jealous and want one too !

    I wouldn't have noticed those screws without you mentioning it. I'm impressed you got those out - looks hard to get a driver on them
