Thanks in advance for anyone's help...

Don't wait, Tony. Just go ahead and get one. If on the VERY odd chance you don't love it, someone here will take it off your hands, I'm sure.
I've had my share of Palio's and it's the only cutter I don't own now. I covered the "off chance". I didn't like it because my hands are clumsy and it always pinched me in the soft web of my thumb. A couple bleeders and I wasn't feeling the love.
I have every type of Xikar available, including the mammoth, and my favorite cutter is a cheesy "Cohiba" cuban crafters type guilloting cutter that the cigar doesn't pass though. It works perfect every time, even if the cuts aren't all that great. I'm not too excitable about the straightness of the cut because I chew my cigars anyways.
My second favorite is my purple starburst xikar, or whatever it's called. I just love looking at it. I wish they had a stainless or titanium cutter. I'd be all over that.
