Palio
Options
I love this cutter... I've never used a Xikar, but I have the same style of cutter from Colibri (Firebird) and I could not get used to it... I'd always break the cap or twist it to get an uneven cap etc...
My Palio is awesome and it has a warranty that if you take it to ANY place that sells Palio they will just replace it for free, no sending it in...
Now, I know that a cutter is a personal thing and that you will each find your favorite, but the Palio is the best one for me!

Here ya go, the blades are curved for a 360 degree cut (supposedly) but it's smooth as silk and has a lifetime warranty!phobicsquirrel:post a pic buddy, I'm more of a visual person...

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.Lasabar:I also like in the top right of both sides it has an official BOTL badge....

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 found the secret to the Xikar's is to lay the cutter on the table, lighter, etc as long as it's flat and then put the cigar in and do a quick clipping motion, always a perfect draw, you never cut too much and it's always even.Lasabar:I love this cutter...

Moot point I guess since you love your Palio, but I'd love to try one one day. -
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.

I guess that would work! I never did that, but I would think it would work... Would look a little strange at the B&M though!TheDrifter:

Nice cutter. I like my i3 though.

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 love the look of that cutter!!!! Hmmm I love my Xikar products though I really need a new V-cutter though.

Perfect cutter (the name) - this thing gives a perfect cut every time with the backing plate
-
If it functions as good as it looks I'd grab one. Problem is I've never even heard of them or seen one until nowLasabar:

Ive used soem randoms until I got my xi2. I love it. never used a palio before.

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!SgtRick: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.
