Palio FTW.

'nuff said.

Palio! Cuts like butter every time and if you ever have a problem (you won't) their customer service is excellent.

Clean, either of these cutters should last more than a lifetime, but dirty, neither will do the job satisfactorily.

+1. Though I just use a q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol, only because those 2 items are always around my house.

Thanks guys...I know this is a Coke vs. Pepsi argument but wanted to hear all sides, looks like I can't go wrong with either. Thanks for the input

I have 1 Palio and 3 Xikar X8s, 1 in both trucks and 1 on top of my humi.....not sure where the palio is.

Someone stole your good cutter.

MurphysLaw · 10-11-2012, 04:59 PM

I have both and I like the action of the Palio much more. The Xikar seems more unnatural to me.

Surely the Coke vs Pepsi is a little more one sided... I mean one is delicious and the other tastes like dirty mop water!

macsauce13 · 10-11-2012, 11:14 PM

Palio!

I think it is a personal preference, I love my Palio but don't have enough experience with the Xikar ones to form an opinion.

I was hoping for a poll.
