The XIKAR VX2 V-Cut cutter offers a deeper V-Cut than the original. Similar to its predecessor, this cutter features a reverse V-cut blade that cuts from the outside in, which helps reduce the possibility of cracking the head of the cigar. Ridiculously easy to use, press the two side buttons to release the blade, then place your cigar in the middle of the cutter and press the blade back inside. The cigar gets a beautiful V-shaped groove in seconds thanks to XIKAR's high-grade steel and quality craftsmanship. Backed by Xikar's limited lifetime warranty.
