Good quality, poor looking

The quality was outstanding as to be expected, but the wood Spalted Tamarind didn't look anything like it does in the picture. It was very plain with very little to no wood grain showing, and the wood was white instead of being a darker color

Pros
  • awesome one, love it!
Cons
  • The heavier weight of the cutter may also pose an issue for users who prefer a lighter tool to carry around.

Came in not as pictured

Not even close. Looks like pine tree wood was used. There were also some 'normal use' scratches on the blades. I found that odd for its supposed to be new.Without using it, the cutter and blades appeared to be super high quality, like most Xikar products are. Hard to believe it got past quality control to be that far off cosmetically though. Sadly I Returned

Pros
  • Household Supplies
Cons
  • The cutter may be too sharp or aggressive, damaging the cigar wrapper and causing significant harm to the smoking experience.

Excellent cutter best in my review

Like all Xikar products I've owned, this cutter is well made. Its sharp blades easily and cleanly cut cigars, and the spalted tamarind and steel finish are very appealing.

Pros
  • My son was pleased with it
Cons
  • Felt cheap
