Xikar
Surgical-steel double guillotine. 54-ring capacity. Lifetime warranty, no exceptions.
The Xi3 is the cutter Marcus carries in his jacket pocket and the one the lounge sells more of than any other. Two surgical-steel blades close on a spring-loaded center pin, cutting cleanly through any cap up to a 54 ring gauge without crushing the wrapper.
The body is anodized aluminum; the springs are stainless. Xikar's lifetime warranty covers everything except a deliberately thrown cutter — drop it, lose a blade, mistreat it, send it back. It comes home repaired or replaced.
Available in seven finishes; the Briarwood standing recommendation is the gunmetal — it doesn't show wear, and it looks at home next to any of the leather cases we carry.
