I also like in the top right of both sides it has an official BOTL badge.... Hmmmm I wonder if they would make a BORK one for US!?
The BOTL logo is because a company called Brotherhood of the Leaf LLC owns/produces Palio cutters. Personally, the Palio is probably the only cutter I will ever use again. I F'ing love my Palio. It has yet to give a cut that was anything less that perfect.
i have the carbon fiber black xikar xi3 cutter, which is kind of odd because im not into the flashy stuff and never ever buy the most or more expensive things, i just happen to had some extra cash that day and bought it, at any rate i like mine very much and its the first cutter i have really used, but i can see how with its particular design most people are going to either love or hate with not much going on in the middle, i really like the look of your palio cutter and havent heard anything bad about it, deff. would like to try one someday, and the warranty I mean come on thats a great deal
Xikar for life! I have tried all others and nothing compares to Xikar. Xikar's lifetime warranty is tops with less than 2% of products returned. Not to mention the monthly donations to our troops. I have been able to visit their offices twice in Kansas City and what a great bunch of people behind that business. Not knocking Palio but I made my personal choice after trying a few cutters. Palio is better then Colibri but neither compares to my Xikar IMO. I have 2 Xikar cutters and 2 Xikar lighters and I won't use anything else. By the way if you get the chance try the Xikar v cutter - it is amazing!
I've wanted a Palio cutter for some time now. I don't know that I'd get one now that I picked up a set of Xikar folding scissors, I love those and doubt I'll use another cutter ever again.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but to say a Xikar is "better" than a Palio is simply not true. You may prefer one to the other, but that doesn't make it better. I've used crappy cutters and I have used fine cutters. The only cutter I use anymore is Palio.
I own 2 xikar's and it was kinda a personnal choice. I used a xikar for the first time here in Iraq and decided to buy a couple. One I leave here in Baghdad and one in the states since I can't travel with it except in checked baggage and I never check a bag. I have looked at the Palio's. The one I like the best is the wood looking one. I may still end up with it at some point. I can't say one is better than the other since I've never used a Palio. I can say that I have no complaints about my xikar's. They are well made, great warrenty and I believe worth the money.

+1, back in the states, my wife sent my Xikar in because it started showing signs of wear and a new one was sent back...can't beat that...love the warranty! I also have one of their punch tools...love it as well!
