Anybody know any vendors that have good deals on palios or xikars
and will also ship to Canada? I'm lookin to replace my very old no
name cutter since I've had a few issues with the last few cuts I've made.

PS Palio is the way to go

Mark has great deals on Palio $35.97-$47.96 (Year End Sale). He also sells Xikar. You can't go wrong with Mark's customer service, he's an all around stand-up guy.
I have both Xikar and Palio and love both!!

I use my Palio daily and love it.
I keep thinking about getting an Xikar to try it out, but just never pull the trigger.

The Palio just keeps cutting smooth so I never do it.

Everyone seems to love Palio, i have a WOLF which i believe is made by Xikar, it's another Solingen(sp) Germany one. I like it, but its only a few months old.

I have had both Palios and XiKars for years now, and I can say without hesitiation that the Palio rules. :-)

Palio, and either Mark (cigarmoney) or David (Heartfelt) will help you out.

I love my Xicar cutter as well as my BostonCutter V-cut,,,,may have to purchase a Palio since I hear great things about this one, too. So many cigar toys, so little money!

I've used both and own a Xikar. Both work really well but I prefer my Xikar for one reason; Palio's just don't seem to handle a larger ring gauge stick as well. The opening in them is rather small, IMO, and for larger sticks the Xikar works much better. I know a lot of people prefer their larger cigars punched, but if you like 'em cut like I do I think the Xikar is the way to go.

Had Xikar for years, the cutter is great the punch is awesome too.. Now just waiting for my Palio to arrive next week, then I can give you a comparison between the two..

Thanks for all the tips! I'll have to do some thinking over the next little while so I can make a decision and save up the $$ for the purchase :-)
