I always notice that when I cut with my Xikar, it cuts clean but leaves a bump right in the middle, so your not alone and I also do notice the play in the handles...

I am glad to hear that. No reason to send it in then.

The "bump" is a common occurrence with the Xikar cutters. Main reason I gave mine away. Palio for life!

My Palio does the same thing and breaks the wrapper..I hate the uneven cut..I never use the cutter b/c of this. I have only used it maybe 10 times...got it new for Christmas.

If your Palio is breaking the wrapper on your cigars, either your cigars are way too dry, or you have a defective Palio. Contact customer support or where you got it from and get it replaced.

Nope, cigars aren't dry..cheap 50 cent cutter does a great job. My buddy's palio works fine but mine sucks.

Replace it. That is what the lifetime warranty is for.

I think any authorized dealer will replace it for free:

Or you don't have a retailer by you, you should be able to mail it back to Palio.

I will vouch for e-man. His Palio sucks. Whenever I go to his house, he uses my Palio and it works fine. I tried his Palio and it damages the cigar. He must have just received a lemon.

Eric, I am sure you will like the new one they give you. I love my Palio.
