Xikar VX2 Brushed Chrome Cigar V Cutter This XiKar VX2 V cutter will give you the perfect cut every time. The compact design makes it feel just right in your hand. To open the cutter just squeeze both ridged sides, the spring loaded guillotine will be released and pop upwards from the body of the cutter. Place the head of your cigar in the opening and push the cutter downwards to bring it back into the body. This will produce a neat v -cut at just the right depth. The clever design of this XiKar cutter eliminates any splitting of the cap when cut so you aren't spitting bits out all night.
