Xikar cutters
I have a Xikar xi1 and I'm not really liking it. I have yet to have a perfectly clean cut, I always seem to get some stragglers in the center of the cap.
Do you guys have any tips for these cutters? Maybe I'm missing something?
I had a cheap double guillotine that worked great for awhile and figured this Xikar was an upgrade, it hasn't been.

But if it isn't sharp, it will cause those problems.
I've sent mine in several times to be sharpened (I think they just replace the blades.).
I did spend 25 bucks on a palm style that resembled the x1, F-ing hated it, always a bad cut, threw it away
No way I could justify the price on others with how this 3 dollar cutter has worked out, and with the free shipping I can get a new one every year and will probably be dead before I reach the xikar price point :P
Do you mean, with the cigar straight up, pushing the cutter down while you cut, or pushing away from you into the cigar as you cut? Please bear with me, I'm mechanically challenged.
