Xikar Differences (FYI)

[N2Advnture]

I get the question "What are the differences between all the Xikar models?" a lot, so I thought I post this up:

They all have the same exact blades, the only difference are the finishes used for the handles.

All "Xi" cutter blades are made of high quality 440 stainless steel with an HRC of 57.
All "Xi" cutters will cut a 54 ring gauge cigar in half. Depending on how much cap you cut, they will cut up to a 58 ring gauge cigar.
All Xikar products come with the Xikar lifetime warranty.

Xi MSRP: $59.99

Aluminum bodies in Titanium, Black, Gold, Silver, Red & Blue

Xi2 MSRP: $39.99

Nylon fiberglass bodies in Bloodstone, Granite, Lapis Blue, Malachite Green & Noir Black

Xi3 MSRP: $79.99

Wood finished bodies in Redwood, Beechwood, Zebrawood
Titanium Nitride coated bodies in Multi-color Spectra & STK Black
"Tech" rubberize body

Xi3 Exotic MSRP: $99.99

Exotic wood finished bodies in Amboina Burl, Bocote & Cocobolo

Xi3 Mammoth MSRP: $299.99

10,000 year old mammoth's tusks

Xi3 Havana MSRP: $299.99

Parisian artist begins by fashioning handles of French maple wood to fit the Xi3 body. He then hand paints the handles in one of five vibrant colors, including green, yellow, red, blue and black.



I hope this helps and happy smoking my friends!

Great post. I have only tried a Xikar a couple of times. I couldn't get the feel for it. Love the Havana models though.

Awesome information, thanks. I've wondered what the difference is before, I have two, love them. I actually keep one if my pocket, I open and close it like clicking a pen, I think it bothers the people I work with! :whistling:

Hey Thanks for that info. I am in the market for one of those. I found this post at just the right time. I really like the Mammoth one. I also saw one with elephant ivory that was pretty cool looking.
