What kind of cutter/punch do you use?

[roughrider]

I use the Cuban Crafter cutter & the Xikar 008 Punch. I've been wanting to try the Wolf V-cutter.

I have been a V Cut ( cats eye ) person for over 10 years and have tried every cut out there. I use the Boston V Cutter and for my preference there is none better on the market or a better cut. Yes, you can use a V Cut on a torpedo and any shape foot as long as the cutter isn't up against a 60 RG cigar. It's all about preference and if you are going to use a V Cut I strongly suggest a cats eye cut instead of the regular V Cut,,,again there is a difference here.

I use a Gransfors Bruks hatchet.

Takes some practice and getting used to, but the looks are priceless.

I'd like to see a picture of that.

I have a brand new Gransfors Bruks small forest axe.

I buddy of mine gave me this cutter today. I've never seen one like it. 2 sized holes with 2 cutting blades that are connected on one side that acts as a V cutter.

HippoTec is the brand.

Tried his out today on a torp and it cut pretty cleanly. Haven't tried the V cutter yet though.

The blades on mine look a little dull so I figured out how to take it apart so I can try to sharpen it.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

I have seen those before, but for the life of me, I can't remember where.

I have 3 that I use with regularity. #1 choice is my Palio. #2 is my Xikar scissors (because of the sheath I have for it, and the handiness for nubbing a stick). #3 is my SAK; cuts great, but I just don't use it as much as I used to (before the Palio).

Xikar Punch for every thing that it fits.

Palio for when a cut is needed.


SOG Twitch when none available

SOG Twitch?

Shaking Old Guy Twitch?

OK, just funnin' ya.

What is SOG Twitch?

Zino Davidoff is what I use. Has been sharp for close to 15 years.

Anyone have a recommendation on something of good quality for larger gauges??? How thick can the Palios cut??

Like you, I've been using a Zino for ages, still as sharp as it ever was.

A Palio is my other cutter - I'd say they'll take up to about 54-56 ring.

[DPD6030]

Xikar xi3
Xikar xi2
Palio Camo
Xikar 009 Punch
and the Xikar MTX multi-tool

[WyGuy]

My Palio is my go to cutter, have a couple cheapies that I keep in the car and golf bag.

[ucla695]

For parejos, I use my Palio or Zino to score the wrapper where I want to cut it and then I flip off the cap with my thumb. Works like a charm every time. For figurados, I just clip away.
