I know because I have tested the old cutter against the new cutter.
I posted this in another thread and I'm saying it again because I meant it.
I am not normally one to buy things impulsively. When I decide to buy something and there are multiple alternatives for the product, I research the heck out of the alternatives. And when I decided that I wanted to shell out some significant money to buy a cutter, I started doing the research. Along with the Palio, I considered other high-end cutters like Xikar, Zino and Davidoff. While doing the research I read several hundred posts and comments about each cutter and I looked at the construction of each; I looked at the cutting action; I looked at the blades. I looked at every aspect that I could think of.
In the end I decided on the Palio. What sold me were the number of positive comments for the Palio. In all of the positive comments about the Palio I came across I don't think I came across one negative comment. The worst thing I read was that it was equal to the cutters that they were being compared to. More importantly, I don't recall reading any comment stating the opposite. I don't remember reading any comment about any cutter being compared to the Palio cutting as well as the Palio. The fact that that was not stated says a lot. And, I really liked the look of the cutter. It says "Class" to me.
I'm telling you, I did my homework. And when I had read all I could read, it was the Palio and nothing else. And now I can back it up because I did my own test.
I am one of probably not too many that have been in the position to have been able to use both the old Palio, made while under the previous ownership of Amyx-Christie and the current cutter made for the owner of the new Palio, Brother of The Leaf LLC.
I am hear to say that the Palio cutters made under the new ownership of Brother of The Leaf, LLC. is a damn fine cutter. It cuts as equally well if not better than the original cutters. My new cutter has been put through a rigorous test these last few weeks and I am pleased to say that it passed with flying colors.
I highly recommend this cutter to anyone who is tired of the El Cheapo cutters and is looking to spend not a significant amount, but wants to spend some extra $$$ to get a quality cutter. You won't be sorry that you bought a Palio.
On the www.paliocutters.com website, even though the hand that indicates a link does not show if you move the cursor around, I found out that if you move the cursor over any of the words on the left side and click, it does take you to the appropriate page. To see who stocks the Palio, click on "where to buy".
What's the difference between a Palio and some other high-priced, pay-for-the-name, cuts no better than Palio, cutter? Somewhere between 5 and 50+ dollars.
Why pay more for something that doesn't cut any better than a Palio?
