That doesn’t seem good.

I really like Xikar, hope this doesn't affect their quality or standing behind their products.

Some would claim...COUGH COUGH Elk Twin COUGH COUGH...that their standing behind their products was a function of the poor quality of said products.

I have two busted ones, one with the pricey redwood handles. Bought my dad one of their pocket knives with mammoth bone handles.

Same company that bought Palio a couple of years back. The IPCPR Palio that was in my kit is as good as they ever were.

I've had a few of their lighters. They both crapped out on me after a few years. I sent one in and they did replace it but it died after a few months. I guess it's like everything else, if you want quality you have to pay bigger bucks for it.
