At the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Quality Importers Trading Company (QI) introduced the Xikar XI1 G10. This new version of the Xikar XI1 cigar cutter is crafted using G10.
G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass resin laminate featuring high mechanical strength and resistance to chemicals. It has gained popularity with Knife Handles. Quality Importers says G10 makes for one of the most durable cutters on the market.
The XI1 G10 is available in four Damascus-style finishes. The G10 is CNC machined to produce these patterns. One thing about this process is that every unit comes out unique. The blades are the black stainless steel blades seen on the Xikar Xi1 Phantom. The four colors on the finish are:
- Olive
- Orange
- Red
- Blue
The Xikar XI1 G10 is scheduled to ship later in 2025. Pricing comes in at $84.99. Last year, Xikar released the G10 version of its V-Cut cutter.
