Xikar Xi1 Cigar Cutter (Silver with black blades)

The Xikar Xi1 is the cutter that made Xikar's name — the original teardrop-shaped double-guillotine in its classic form, here in a striking silver body with black blades. The blades are custom-hardened 440C stainless steel at Rockwell HRC 57, and the lightweight aluminium body is balanced to sit naturally in the hand. Ergonomic, effortlessly sharp and backed by Xikar's renowned warranty, the Xi1 is an icon of cigar cutlery — and a cutter to own for life.
