The Big Easy Tobacco Accessories 9324BK Xikar Mtx black Multi Tool

A spectacular cigar cutting tool! Xikar MTX is great as it can handle any size ring gauge and cut off the foot of a cigar if it starts burning unevenly. The blades are very sharp and provide a very crisp, clean cut. Accessory tools include flat head and poker tool. The poker tool is useful for trying to unplug cigars, but it would be better if the tool was longer. One thing I’d caution on the Xikar MTX is to not keep it in your pockets with keys are the paint will likely chip. Overall still a great cutter due to its compact size and useful flathead and poker tool. The MTX folds up so you can easily transport it most anywhere. Most importantly the sharp blades make for a clean cut with a lifetime guarantee.

I like the form factor and how easy it is to carry on you person however it's not a great cutter. It is very sharp that being said something about the edge geometry and it's ergonomics, it doesn't yield a clean cut compared to other guillotine cutters I've used; I've found myself having to recut the cigar because of the odd angles of the cut. Furthermore, it has a tendency to crack the wrappers. It's also worth mentioning that the shears out of the box are very stiff. I later found out that the stiffness comes from the paint on the joints of the shears, and when that paint wears off it'll become smoother to operate. I like the idea on paper however I'm disappointed to find that this is poorly executed. A shame because Xikar does make some good accessories.

aber fein, nicht für grosse Ringmaße geeinget

Qualidade superior com corte perfeito.

Works well on smaller diameter cigars but definitely not work the price. There are way better cigar cutters for less money. It looks bigger in the picture than it really is.
