Ok my bad. I'm new to this whole message board thing. I'll put it in a new thread. I have been trying to read quite a bit but being a student I also have a crap ton of other stuff to read so I am trying to find a balance.

OK.. you evil dudes went and made me wanna get a Palio to cut with along side the X8, like the other big boys here!
Where's a good place to buy from? I've seen Palios from $45 & up. Seem to run a good bit more than the Xikars. I inow there's some deal finders here...Suggestions?

Received new X8 and am totally impressed. This is the sharpest cutter I've run across. Very light weight with a slight detent to keep closed and has a side shape similar to the Palio to hold your cigar. Will christen the new cutter on an Oliva V Maduro! Again, appreciate the recommendations!

Well after reading this thread a little while back it's been eating away at me. I finally broke down and purchased a X8 from the devil site for $16. I would have went for the Palio but the X8 is way cheaper. I am excited to try it out when it comes in next week.

You won't regret it. Great cutters.

I finally decided to stop being such a cheap a$$ a couple weeks ago and picked up an X8. Since it's arrival I have not used anything else to cut my cigars - I'm very happy with my purchase!

Also - remember to register your cutter on the Xikar website. You get a free leather pouch for it. I'm glad the guy at my B&M told me about it because I probably would not have read it in the included literature.
