Xikar 333 Cutter

Famous is selling a Xikar 333 52 RG Easy Cutter. I bought on Monster because they state it has Solingen Germany steel blades.

OK, it comes packaged as Wolf brand. It is the classic guillotine (not the Xikar traditional one). The blades are sharp as hell. It is the type of cutter that you cannot stick the cigar through, it has a 'top' over the hole.

I didn't bother to check the insert in the box to see if it is covered by teh Xikar usual warranty. It is way less expensive than the old style Xikar.

I'm not sure I havea point on this - I knew I wasn't getting the old style Xikar, I was a little surprised the carton nor the cutter say Xikar.

I'm thinking that if it doesn't say "Xicar" on the box or on the cutter, it isn't a Xicar. Pretty sure I'd be returning it, had I placed the order...

under 10 bucks... no shipping... decent cutter... Just maybe not a Xikar... maybe they bought someone?

Apparently the 333 is one of those promotional corporate logo items.

Besides, if it says "Xicar", you know it's a fake.

I suppose it could be short for Wolfertz, Xikar's German partner. Ergo, the Solingen steel baldes.
