Just when you thought it couldn't be done, Xikar has combined a Straight Cutter and V-Cutter in one tool. Now all we need is a Punch-cutter to be added in the mix!

Quality Importers Presents the Versatile Xikar Flip Dual Cutter

Quality Importers Trading Company presents the versatile XIKAR Flip Dual Cutter with two cigar cutting options. This innovative cigar accessory caters to the diverse preferences of cigar passionados, offering both a deep V-Cut and a traditional Straight Cut in one sleek and portable design. 

The XIKAR Flip Dual Cigar Cutter incorporates stainless steel blades capable of handling 64-ring gauge cigars with precision. The dual cutting options ensure an optimal depth for both V-Cut and Straight Cut, providing an ample draw without compromising the cigar cap. The V-Cut design is based on the classic XIKAR VX2 cutter engineered with an inverted stainless steel blade providing inward pressure to the cap of the cigar during the cut, preventing the cigar cap from expanding and splitting. 

The cutter features the Secure-Lock system, a user-friendly spring-loaded release mechanism that enables one-handed operation for added convenience. By applying pressure to both sides and releasing the buttons, the XIKAR Flip Dual Cutter is easily maneuvered with your thumb and index finger allowing cigar connoisseurs to seamlessly switch between a V-Cut or Straight Cut. Other highlights include the side trigger button complementing color finishes which add style, as well as the textured surface giving the cutter a luxurious feel and a firm grip. 

Crafted with an aluminum body, the XIKAR Flip Dual Cutter is both comfortable to hold and sturdy, measuring 1.79” wide, 0.66” deep, and 3.07” in length (texturized, providing stability on most surfaces, while the top serves as a cigar rest due to its slight 45.5 x 17 x 78 mm). 

Available in seven stunning color finishes: Black, Black & Bronze, Bronze, Brushed Chrome, Gunmetal, and Red the XIKAR Flip Dual Cutter is ideal for entertaining. Backed by the industry-leading XIKAR lifetime warranty and offered at an MSRP of $84.99, the Flip Dual Cutter provides cigar enthusiasts with a pocket friendly cutter at a wallet-friendly price.

Colibri do something similar, I hadn't noticed for a long while, as I use their normal V-cut. I always noticed thicker models and just thought they were v-cuts made with more metal/rarer finishes. Turns out those thicker ones had a straight cut on one side and a V on the other.
