I have one. It's the greatest cutter made...bar none.

Id like to thank my friend Goody for it.

BTW ... you can't see it in this picture, but the originals had a 'silver-colored' Palio crest on each side ... at that little 'point' that is sticking out.

The crest is still there ... but now it's black. I gifted xibbumbero one of the originals a few years back, but have gifted SteveS, bassdude, pablo, and several others the later version ...

.. oh ... and did I mention MACS(SW) as well? He just hasn't received his yet, but he soon will ... 😉

Have heard nothing but good reports on them, I have used Xikars for so long, even though they can be clumsy to use as Slim says, I will look into one of these guys!!!!!

I still haven't forgiven her.

Slim was very kind to me as well. It is all I use these days. Best cutter out there.

MACS(SW) --- I just got notification that your Palio is shipping today ...

... I decided to have it 'drop shipped' to your home direct, to save time.

The price is comparable to a Xikar too... So I might pick one up just to see.

Do you guys have a recco for a 60 ring cutter?

... your thumb nail ...

... no kidding. Just run your thumbnail under and around the cap, and it will pop right off.

That's what the torcadors do in the factories ...

Use a punch, that is about the only time I would use one on gauge of 60 or more!

I'm going to have to stop chewing my nails.

I don't care for using a punch but have tried multiple punches with CAO Italia Piazzas and Amazon's but that method leaves a little too much debris floating around.
