I have always used those crappy two dollar cutters from like walmart, and now I think it's time for a nice one. Has anyone here used the swiss army cutters(namely the luxury modes)? I've seen them online and they look nice, but how well do they cut... Also I've seen the luxury model for seventy five dollars. Does anyone know where I could gett an even better deal? Thanks in advance!

I have one and it works great. You can get the basic model for around $30.

Also, check out this thread http://forums.cigarweekly.com/viewtopic.php?t=31570 for a discussion of the SAK and a variety of other cutters.

I got the basic model (slim version) from bargain humidors for 24.99. Besides the cutter it has one blade and a nail file. I bought it for the cutter.

IMHO it is the best cutter out there.I have used the Zino,Xikar and Palio and the SAK outperforms them all.

I had a red one, but the plastic got a little scuffed from constantly being in my pocket. I liked it so much I sprung for the stainless and leather model (has scissors, too). I got it on cigarbid for $39. It's great and now someone is using my old red one. Highly recommended!
