Hagen, is that the one you had at the Phx Herf? I have to look into getting one.

Yes sir it is it has thinner blades than the Xikar so it cuts smoother and finer IMO.

For thicker ring gauges, I use my Zino DG to score the area around which I would like to cut.  Then, I flick the cap off with my thumb.  It has worked very well.  But for figurados, I have to fully engage both blades. 

For thinner ring gauges, still looking.  I guess a narrow punch would do.

I used to switch between my xikar and a punch but now I pretty much strictly use my Palio.  It has been very reliable and effective

I've got it all, Zino, Davidoff, Palio, Xikar, Xikar2, Xikar3, Savinelli, SAK, Bullet cutter - I think the Palio is best for everyday, and Davidoff for herfs.

Not all, the Credo Synchro may be better than all of them.  Much better than the Palio. IMHO

Found a super deal on my favorite cutter, on Ebay, now. Check them out...  [url=http://search.ebay.com/credo-synchro_W0QQfromZR40]http://search.ebay.com/credo-synchro_W0QQfromZR40[/url]

I looked into the Credos and found them a bit bulky...

Anybody know a site for Palios....for a good deal?
