ISO: Made in the USA cutters

True that.

I just took the xikar fan / Asia thing as a dig at items manufactured abroad (or at least in Asia), which I don't think is necessarily true and will unnecessarily limit the number of cigar accessories from which one (including someone else who might be reading this thread without the experience of using these various cutters) has to choose--and that's just sad, because we all need as many cigar toys as humanly possible

I know of no such animal and even checked some of the top US made knife sites.

Me either. I currently carry a Benchmade (made in the USA) knife every day and have always been interested to see them or some of the other various knife manucturers (including the truly high-end USA and foreign ones) put out some cutters.

You might try to get a custom knifemaker that would produce a cigar cutter. I would be willing to bet if you put in a message to Mike Snody he might undertake such project. He's always making very crazy things that look very cool. (slingshots that crack skulls, money clips, knives of all kinds) Of course I would probably try to come at him with a list of like 25-50 buyers.

Or maybe another knifemaker would do something like this. Especially if they were to engrave CA into it I wonder how many people here would purchase one?

appreciate the comment. not looking for one-off custom-made. looking to source quantity to resell. i am in the import/export business...

It was mostly to Croatan as I figured you weren't looking for a high(er) priced custom.

Who are you looking to sell the cutters to, just out of curiosity?

[Pat1075]

my apologies but do check out the discount cutlery link there are plenty of good American scissors there which could give you a jumping off point.

Patrick, do they produce the cutlery, or are they just a vendor?

[Pat1075]

just a vendor however as it does contain a list of several american producers you could use it as a jumping off point. And since the names are there you can figure out the companies and there contact information with a little work.
ok I'll do it for him
Bear & Son http://www.bearandsoncutlery.com/
Buck http://www.buckknives.com/
Slip-N-Snip http://www.slipnsnip.com/
there three american scissor producers and there websites all compiled from a lead from a cutlery vendors website

Never got this answered? Still curious, and may have some input depending on your answer.

Because a scissor is made outside of the US does not automatically make it a lousy product. Some of the best scissors (including cigar scissors) made in the world come from Sheffield, England or Solingen, Germany.

I doubt that these would be cheap enough to import/export. A search for cigar scissors on Alibaba.com yields hundreds of manufacturers. Mostly from Asia, but individual countries, including the US, can be searched.

Another vote for Palio. Excellent product and first class owner
