Cool review. I like those scissors maybe I will get them for home use. This also is convincing me to put aside the Xikar and get a Palio..
The palio and Xikar are close. Both are top notch. As you can see, I have a terrible time only having one of either. Ultimately as Mark has pointed out, you need to put these into your hand and use them yourselves. However, no cheapy will live up to either of these cutters.
