How do you sharpen a xikar cutter?

DonWeb · 10-27-2008, 05:22 AM

Just got back my Xikar, it was a new one (different color).

I sent in black - got silver in return. If you want the same color back, you should send a note saying such.

Thanks for the advice. As long as it cuts a nice clean straight cut, I don't care what color it is.

Might also want to note what kind of steel you want too.

Xikar replaced my cutter through my local b&m at no cost. I believe the steel used is the same througout all of their cutters, it is the finish that is different.

Some of the older ones were made with German Steel blades.

As everyone already said you can send it back to Xikar or take to any B&M that sells Xikar and get a replacement right then and there.

Simple answer: No, they do not, but then again, NO CUTTER self sharpens.
Longer answer: Call me, we'll discuss it

Bottom line: If the blade has been sharpened to "extremely" sharp and has a Rockwell hardness high enough, it will stay that way.
