I did a quick search but couldn't find anything on the subject, at least that would be implied by a thread title.

But is it possible to sharpen a cutter? Mine is currently fine, but I can only imagine that over time it will dull, and if there is a way to fix that. It's made by Luciene, not sure of the model.

Not worth it, IMO.

Any cutter that might be worth the effort will have a warranty for replacement.

Palio (my preference) and Xikar are two quality cutters that you'd not have to worry about.

+1 to what Peter said

xikar? palio? cubancrafters? if one of these send it in when it's time.
[Reply]

:-) except I prefer the Xikar :-)

From what I hear, I think Xikar will be my next cutter, just don't have the funds to justify buying one until my Luciene is totally shot.
[Reply]

Ethan, you cant go wrong with either one. Both are awesome cutters.

If I had that cash I'd buy the Perdomos that are up right now... I just dropped like $250 on a cooler, hydrometer, beads, a box of Perdomo Lot 23's and a couple samplers.

I knew Xikar would take them when they need re-sharpend. I didn't know about Cuban Crafters. I've been looking at their perfect cutter.

Just get a new one with a warranty :-)

I would assume they do. It says if it fails to function properly. I would say that if it's not cutting good then that would qualify. My :-)

Yep what Pnoon just wrote. They all are good, I've owned the "Big 3" my money goes for cigars, not fancy cutters. I stuck with Cuban Crafters--best cutter for the money.
I have sent in my perfect cutter once just cause it was dull, got a new one in the mail in about a week. Best $14.99 I ever spent.

I have a CC cutter i need to send back. It has never worked properly since the day I got it.
[Reply]

Any XiKar dealer should trade you a new on off the shelf for your dull one (assuming it's not a custom cutter). That's the standard policy now they have, and then the retailers just get new replacements.


Really makes me wonder if there's a warehouse somewhere with old dull XiKars? :-)

I have 3 cutters however I think my next one will be a Palio...I keep hearinf about them but never used one
[Reply]

Haven't tried it, so I don't know if it works, but I've read on multiple occassions that if you roll aluminum foil into a loose ball and make servera cuts through it, you'll get some sharpening on 'lesser' blades. I won't bother trying it on my Xi or Palio, but if yous is dull anyway and new one still a ways off, probably can't hurt to try.
[Reply]

CC will make it right I'm sure.
[Reply]

Terrific;. I gave Manny one of those as his first cutter, he still uses it.

I swear by my Palios. Clean, perfect cut every time, and no pinching my fat hands!

This.
[Reply]

Yep. If you send it in to Xikar you'll be waiting quite a while for a replacement. I had an Xi1 that was dull when I bought it and it took several weeks to get a replacement from Xikar. Easier to just walk into a Xikar retailer and swap it out with them.
