I have a Xikar cutter that I believe needs some sharpening. It tends to pinch more than cut. Any suggestions?
[Reply]

Send it back. They have a lifetime warranty and great customer service. They will make it like new, or send you another one.

send it back! :-) I don't remember if it was Xikar or Palio but I think one of them have a lifetime warranty.
[Reply]

they both have lifetime warrantys.....dont mess with them or they may not honour them...just send it back and relax
[Reply]

Great. Enough said. I was feeling quilty about sending it back, but I'll get over it.
Thanks guys.

Qft.


I am getting ready to send my lighter back to have it cleaned and have them check all the parts to make sure it works well. :-)
[Reply]

if the xikars were to do what they were advertised (self sharpening) then it wouldn't matter...palio ftw!!! =)
[Reply]

where are xikars advertised that they are self sharpening?
[Reply]

I've seen retailers advertising them as such. Can't say I recall Xikar ever saying this.

If any cutter clams to be self sharpening I would have to call :-).
[Reply]

as most have said send it back, also lets not make this into a palio v.s. Xikar debate.
[Reply]

Just got back my Xikar, it was a new one (different color).

I sent in black - got silver in return. If you want the same color back, you should send a note saying such.
[Reply]

Thanks for the advice. As long as it cuts a nice clean straight cut, I don't care what color it is.
[Reply]

Might also want to note what kind of steel you want too. :-)
[Reply]

Xikar replaced my cutter through my local b&m at no cost. I believe the steel used is the same througout all of their cutters, it is the finish that is different.
[Reply]

i sent mine back to get sharpened and it cam back within two weeks along with a brand new cutter
[Reply]

Buy a palio.
[Reply]

Some of the older ones were made with German Steel blades.
[Reply]

As everyone already said you can send it back to Xikar or take to any B&M that sells Xikar and get a replacement right then and there.
[Reply]

Who's got the address to Xikar?

p.s. Don't send me your addy:-)
