    lol, though I will say after getting a cutter that actually is sharp I enjoy torp's a lot more.

    I got an Xi2 for Valentines day from the wife and I love it! It cuts so much more clean than any of my cheapo cutters and the free leather sheath and lifetime warranty are great deals. If any of you aren't aware just go to Xikar's site and register your cutter and they send you a free leather sheath for it. If it wears out go back on the site and register and they send a new one. Xikar's customer service is great from everything I've ever heard.

    i received the one I ordered today in the mail. Hopefully, weather permitting, I'll get to give it a try tomorrow. It seems smaller than I was expecting, but still a pretty slick little device.

    I've been using my Xi3 for a little over a week now. It does cut great, but it kind of bugs me the way it locks immediately after cutting. I then have to unlock it to get the tobacco bits out. Other than that, best cutter I've ever tried.

    I've been able to use it twice since I got it. It is definitely better than my old double guillotine cutter. It is a lot sharper and cuts cleaner. I'm not fond of how tobacco bits get stuck in it when it latches shut, but that is a minor complaint. Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase.

    I got mine on Wednesday. Took me about 2 and a half weeks to get it in.

    I just bought a buddy of mine a Xi3 (redwood) cutter. He loves it, I also like the fact it's a little heavier than the others, balances very well in the hand.

    I also received a Xi3 redwood cutter as a gift. I love it, though I do see the problem that everyone else is talking about with the tobacco getting caught in it after cutting.

    Why is the lock there? I guess it makes it smaller in profile and easier to store, or is it like some strange safety feature?
    Appreciate.

    Can someone pm the link to the $18 xi2 if its still available? I've been wanting a Xikar but can't justify the $40+ prices i've found since i'm a poor student (and $40 goes a long way towards ccom deals or beer!)

    THANKS!

    Also, i could use help on how to access a PM? LOL!
