Glove compartment. Other places you might need one in a pinch. For the troops.

Glove box is taken care of, who would I send them to so they made it to the troops?

Hotreds is your man! Any extra accessories are always appreciated. I try to include some in every package I send over. Also, if you have any extra pillows those are always needed.

Well I emailed bob and sent the cutter out to them. Delivery conformation showed they received it on last Thursday.
I came home today and there was a brand new Xikar waiting for me.
Upon inspecting the new one, the blades are far more rigid than the one i sent back. even when closed there is a stability that was absent in the one I returned. I thought that one was solid, I was wrong.
Now having used the Palio more, and being without the only other cutter I ever owned, I can honestly say I missed my Xikar.
As a person who does most of his smoking at work, bringing smokes back and forth almost daily. The Palio Just doesn't match the Xikar's portability.
I still love my Palio, But will be happy to work my 19hr shifts with the Xikar in my pocket.
First cuts tomorrow. Kudos to Bob for handling this so quickly for me.

I looked at the Xikar Multi-Tool today and I think I'm going to pick those up!
Finally found me a hygrometer that I can calibrate too, its Xikar

Got the Multi-Tool, took the hygrometer back.
I played around with the Palio and Xikar today before deciding on the Xikar. The Palios blades did seem tight, but there was play between the 2 sides, when closed and opened.
The Multi-Tool was only 4 bucks more and the scissors were tight, and of course it has all the added functions.

I love my Palio (camo model) and probably will never need another cutter. Somehow I got a nic in the blade on my first one but my B&M replaced it no questions asked. I know Xikar has the same waranty and is a pretty local company to me but I just like the Palio better. I think I like the traditional slide style better than the butterfly.
