When Xikar says their cutters are "the best thing to happen to cigars since fire," they`re not just blowing smoke. All Xikar cutter blades are made of high quality 440 stainless steel with an HRC (Hardness Scale) of 57 and free sharpening from the company for life. The X2 Series features lightweight nylon fiberglass composite cutter bodies with Xikar`s patented spring latch release and press-cut handles. And, like all Xikar products, the X2 comes with a lifetime warranty, so this may just be the last cutter you'll ever need to buy.
