How do you sharpen a xikar cutter?

Rockestone · 10-26-2008, 12:54 PM

I have a Xikar cutter that I believe needs some sharpening. It tends to pinch more than cut. Any suggestions?

Send it back. They have a lifetime warranty and great customer service. They will make it like new, or send you another one.

Mugen910 · 10-26-2008, 12:55 PM

send it back!

I don't remember if it was Xikar or Palio but I think one of them have a lifetime warranty.

Qft.

I am getting ready to send my lighter back to have it cleaned and have them check all the parts to make sure it works well.

if the xikars were to do what they were advertised (self sharpening) then it wouldn't matter...palio ftw!!! =)

I've seen retailers advertising them as such. Can't say I recall Xikar ever saying this.

If any cutter clams to be self sharpening I would have to call

.

as most have said send it back, also lets not make this into a palio v.s. Xikar debate.

DonWeb · 10-27-2008, 05:22 AM

Just got back my Xikar, it was a new one (different color).

I sent in black - got silver in return. If you want the same color back, you should send a note saying such.

Thanks for the advice. As long as it cuts a nice clean straight cut, I don't care what color it is.

Might also want to note what kind of steel you want too.

Xikar replaced my cutter through my local b&m at no cost. I believe the steel used is the same througout all of their cutters, it is the finish that is different.

rrplasencia · 10-27-2008, 09:46 AM

i sent mine back to get sharpened and it cam back within two weeks along with a brand new cutter

AriesOpusX · 10-27-2008, 03:50 PM

Buy a palio.

Some of the older ones were made with German Steel blades.

As everyone already said you can send it back to Xikar or take to any B&M that sells Xikar and get a replacement right then and there.
