I'm looking for the sharpest guillotine blade. Collibri, zikar, ect. without breaking the bank. Just lost my palio! after 10 years of flawless use. but don't want to spend that much for a cutter.

if you don't mind the branded logo, you can get the cao palio cutter for 20$, though i don't think they allow links here, you'll find it if you google tho...

I won a couple Xi2 cutters here for under $20. Work well and seem to stay sharp.

Love my Palio - it broke apart a few years ago and they replaced it no questions asked! They seem to stay sharp if I alcohol clean them every so often.

Never tried a Xikar - if it aint broke...

Cheap $2 guillotine from numerous shops. If it dulls, simply replace it with another. Often given for free with order.

Used to love my Palio… until I had to return it twice for sharpening. Free guillotines have lasted longer

Won't touch a Xikar. Too many moving parts & springs. Don't drop it.

To be honest I've had ZERO complaints with my Colibri....and at what they cost to pick up, I can but 4-5 compared to one Xicar or Palio. Aaa and I've dropped them several times with NO breakage.....ymmv

I've got about 6 different cutters. From the lowly plastic encased freebie, to an expensive Palio. But when I can't find a cutter fast enough, I use my razor sharp Gerber pocketknife and it does as good a job as any other.

I've learned getting the end cut is way more important than what is used to cut it.
