Should have made this a poll thread

I've had both, and I prefer the Palio. I'll be buying a second Palio very soon.

Had a Palio burlwood and was happy with it for the most part. Was not too smooth in it's action though. Got a Xikar Xi3 carbon and it screams quality. Use the Xikar 100% of the time now.

Blak Smyth · 12-20-2011, 08:43 AM

I lost count but I beileve it is 12-2 in favor of the Palio!

DennisP · 12-20-2011, 09:18 AM

Palio is better than Xi3, but I like the X8 the best.

Sonic04GT · 12-20-2011, 10:21 AM

Wow, thanks for all of the responses! Looks like its going to be a Palio haha maybe a xikar later down the line.

ApexAZ · 12-20-2011, 12:25 PM

I like my palio a lot. I've used xikars too and they work well also.

theonlybear4CORT · 12-20-2011, 01:20 PM

Don't forget the xikar slim, I keep that in my wallet. Best damn cutter I have used.

DMK · 12-20-2011, 04:29 PM

I have the Xikar Xi3 Tech, and I love it. Don't have a Palio, but I think it will be a soon purchase.

DTM · 12-20-2011, 04:51 PM

Was just gifted a Xikar. Have used it several times, its good, but my Palio just seems all around better.

celtic250 · 12-20-2011, 07:03 PM

I have 2 Xi3's and love them both. I just purchased my dad a Palio for Christmas and believe I will be purchasing one for myself soon.

Pat1075 · 12-20-2011, 11:22 PM

Xi3 I tried the palio and didn't care for it

Bill86 · 12-20-2011, 11:34 PM

Punch or MTX scissors.

darkleeroy · 02-05-2012, 09:56 PM

I have both, I prefer using the Xikar. I can't complain about the cut of either though.

hapi · 02-05-2012, 10:19 PM

I have palio and xikar. xikar beautiful. palio not so much.

icehog3 · 02-05-2012, 10:25 PM

I have both.... Use the Palio, as even if the XiKar looks nice, the Palio cuts nice.

Yes sir...Xikar looks cool but the Palio is a fine tool that does it's job perfectly.

Well over 1,000 cigars cut and the blades are just as sharp as when it was new.

Sonic04GT · 02-06-2012, 07:14 PM

Guess this thread got bumped again haha I ended up getting the Palio.

That's a great photo, Chris. Looks like it belongs in an ad. Great job with the lighting and exposure.

You're never going to believe I took that with my iPhone

Took a little bit of playing around with lighting angles and focus but that was about it.
