The XIKAR VX2 V-Cut cutter offers a deeper V-Cut than their original cutter. Like the original, 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, set the cutter on a flat surface, then place your cigar on 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 very sharp blade.
