cigarbreak Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Seen them, curious if you get the same kind of leverage and control while swinging the arm down like you get with a compact xikar cutter or scissors that operate steadily in your hand...i can imagine a lot of slightly diagonal cuts lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicintheUK Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I wrote about these some while ago and I think they look beautiful. I'm just terrified I would leave it in my bag and get it confiscated at customs when I was travelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just terrified I would leave it in my bag and get it confiscated at customs when I was travelling. Same. Also terrified of leaving my finger in the hole while cutting something, for leverage, and then something going wrong. Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharks Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Considered a flick knife out here in Aus I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I really don't like them. Basic piémontais mounting, very common wood (teck de récupération), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRunch61 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 YIKES!! Didn't I see that in one of the "Saw" movies?! I wouldn't be interested if it was a THIRD of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torsion Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Same. Also terrified of leaving my finger in the hole while cutting something, for leverage, and then something going wrong. Sent from my iPhone Same here! Just saw the price of these and was shocked, I know completely different but I'd rather get an ST.Dupont cutter and lighter combo for around the same. No doubt there will be some hardy collectors that will spend and enjoy using these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busdriver Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Same here! Just saw the price of these and was shocked, I know completely different but I'd rather get an ST.Dupont cutter and lighter combo for around the same. No doubt there will be some hardy collectors that will spend and enjoy using these. I have been following this on IG for a while and was stoked until this price issue. Its a beautiful knife but I doubt it provides much control of cuts plus I would not want to use it as a knife and beat it up if it is my cigar cutter. I want to support this kind of entrepreneurial endeavor however the makers are kidding themselves if they don't consider this a pretty much ultra luxury item. I wish them success but I will need a 70% off coupon before I get mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKA27 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Very nice, unsure what one does with a knife really but very nice indeed. Even if it is pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For picnics mang! You and me. And maybe Westy. Picnic in the park. Some saucisson, a hard cheese, heirloom tomatoes, a crusty baguette. A Beaujolais. Maybe a couple frothy beers and some cigars. How is this achieved? Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brschoppe Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I have always been a fan of the Swiss Army Knife cigar cutter. A little more utility than this handmade one. This seems to be the most robust model they have put out there.... http://www.brookstone.com/victorinox-swiss-army-cigar-79/929965p.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMWBen Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Cool idea and knife I just don't see how they can justify that price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicko Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Re the price, I could be wrong but as this is a crowdfunding effort I believe the "packages" are donations of sorts to get it up and running. I imagine once it has been set up the normal retail would be far different price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 A lot of torque goes into single blade cut like that. Never ends well. Get scissors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
