I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Seriously though, the thing cut's great but damn it looks and feels cheap. I wonder why they cant make a all stainless or something. I would love to have this blade in a nice heavy frame. What do you guys think about their look?

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I am more concerned with function than with form. :2

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I think the simple look is just fine. I don't think it looks or feels cheap at all. :2

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I personally think they look good, and the weight is something I like. I had a stainless Xikar and it was too heavy in my pocket for daily carry

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

:tpd: I love this dayum thing and find it hard to use anything else

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I am also tired of this cutter coming off it's tracks. It feels like it's sticking too when I open it. I cleaned it out numerous times.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

The manufacturer stands behind them and will fix or replace it free. The owner happens to be a member here.

I find it curious your first two posts here are to rip on Palio. Smells of an agenda to me.....apologies if I am wrong.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I'm not concerned with it's looks. You can't buy a better cutter.As far as it sticking I wash mine with Dawn in super hot water seems to do the trick.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I have had mine for almost two years and never had it come off the tracks, so maybe its a defective piece. I would take it back to the store because they will replace it on the spot, no hassle.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I think you can take these to any retailer that sells them and exchange with no questions asked. at least that's what I heard. Mine has cut hundreds of sticks and is still as sharp as the first.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I've had mine for about a year now, maybe more. I still love it. I like the look, the feel and the job it does.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I love my Palios I have used them exclusively for over a year and converted many BOTL's as well as run two group buys for them. I like them so much I accidently gave my last on away to a guy I was herfing with that really liked it after he tried it. Lucky for me a great BOTL hooked me up with a new one. I have cut probably 1000 cigars with Palio and never had a single problem or bad cut.

But what the hell do I know I am just a dumbass Canadian :cb

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Uuuhhhh . . . . nevermind. :)


Palio. A cut above.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

ok while were talking palios anyone else rest their finger on the cap while they make the cut? Seems I always get strange looks when I do it but I haven't been cut or made a bad cut yet. This is even more fun while driving!

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

:tpd:

I could give 2 shits what it looks like, when it cuts like it does -- that's all I need. :D

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I have a stainless cutter manufactured by a name brand outfit that's junk. Pure, simple junk. But it looks great, it's nice and hefty, and the name alone (starts with a "C") is guaranteed to impress people. Really sexy.

I'll trade you for a Palio! Seriously. :ss

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Well your wrong about your conspiracy theory :r. I don't care for Xikar's either. I just wish their were more than 2 cutters that are very good for under 50$. I just want something different.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I like my Palio. I think it looks simple, but I like that about it. Beautiful simplicity...why screw it up?

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Send an email to Marc Aubb at Palio. If its broken, he will get it taken care of. I have 3 Palios, a Zino, Cuban Crafter, 2 Xikars. Palio works the best for me, everytime. Just like cigars, different cutters for different folks. Use what you like! I noticed you posted this on another board also.

As for cleaning the Palio, use some alcohol on the tracks to clean it.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Interesting that on another board that we are all familiar with, the op is asking where to buy one since everyone says that they are great. Time to come clean about your agenda.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Are you concerned with peoples opinons on your cutter's looks, or the functionality? If youre worried about guys at your B&M noticing the flashy cutter in your hand, then a Palio isnt for you.

As far as looks go, Palio doesnt really impress me, but I didnt buy it for looks. The cut is absolutely the best from any cutter Ive ever used.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Could just get the Silver Palio... :D

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I'd been thinking about getting a Palio for a while. I noticed that the B&M where we herfed over the weekend was a dealer, so I picked one up there. I also couldn't help noticing that many of the B&M regulars, as well as several of the guys I herfed with, were all using Palios.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I would, but I wouldnt want to copy Bao :r


Exactly. All my buddies use Palio's and after using thiers I was so impressed I went out and bought my own.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I don't like the new Palios. In fact, mine broke the other day (came apart, blade went flying) and I threw it in the trash. Yeah, I could have fixed it myself or sent it for repair, but why would I want another? I didn't think much of the cut from this one either, it was rarely perfect. Not a big fan of Xikars either, but at least those look cool and are made of metal.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Used mine recently at the local cigar bar and let a few others use it. They all thought it was best they ever used both in form and function.

god damn I love that dramatic look clip

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

:r :r :r

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

If you use it, it definitely doesn't "feel" cheap. In my opinion, it's got a better feel and action than any other cutter on the market. Also, the warranty is second to none.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

:tpd: Have you seen the carbon fiber and burl wood models? They definitely don't look "cheap".

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I love my Palio, never had an issue with it. It will be the only cutter I ever use.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I don't think they look cheap, but they do feel cheap to me. Cuts fine. I use something else. To each his own.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Just fishing for information from different sources in different ways. I want to make sure I purchase something that is really that good. My post on this forum was no more than an agenda to see if anyone here had those problems I mentioned in my OP. Sorry if I came off the wrong way, but seriously, I'm just trying to research something before I buy it. I will be ordering a Palio today from Cigar Solutions since they are offering free shipping and a free cigar holder.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Wait.. so you don't even own a Palio? You were just on here bashing a respected manufacturer for S&Gs?

If that's your way of getting feedback, you sure went about it the wrong way.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I love the cut and will not use any but a Palio. On the other hand I also hate the way it sticks and then lets loose coming off the tracks. I hate to loan it to others because they always pull it apart. As I understand it, this is the "norm"....

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

So you made up the line about the cutter coming off its tracks, sticking and cleaning it as your method of doing research? :eek:

Hmm what happened to the douchebag smilie?

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I have a Xikar Xi that I've used and like for years but with all this talk I feel like I may be missing something. :confused:

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

YES I MADE IT UP. I read about those problems from a few people here and there but I wanted to see if anyone here had problems with them. I went about it the wrong way. I should have just came out and asked. Sorry. I am ordering a Palio today since 99% of people have nothing but great things to say about them.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Wow..just Wow

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

:r :r

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Use whatever cutter YOU like. :tu

I usually use a Palio, somtimes a Xikar, and ocaisionally my teeth. :)

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

What it comes down to is if there are any issues (i.e. coming apart) you just have to bring it to a Palio retailer or send it back for a replacement. It's that easy... :ss

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Grabbed one on Saturday as well. I couldn't find it last night and thought I had lost it...False alarm, it was just under my seat. Works great so far.
