they're very good about replacements, just wish they still used Solingen steel

+1 It has been years and I'm still annoyed they did that. I've switched to Palio and the chinese xikar sits in a drawer. |

Ive been using them for years... I cant feel any difference from the old ones to the new ones... seem just the same to me as far as the cut.

I had two of them and after I got a Palio I gave the Xikars to my kids.

That said, I have one of the originals (with the Solingen blades), and I've never had a problem with it. Of course, I've used it very rarely since I bought a Palio, but I'm sure it will work fine if I need an emergency backup.
