i love the perfect cut cutters and had been using a drew estate one i got with a box purchase at a local event with no issues. last year i got an Xikar Xi cutter and love it and have found myself using it more than the perfect cutter. if it was me with a budget 100 for a lighter and cutter i would get an Xikar Xi for a cutter and a Xikar single torch like the flash or tech. if you shop around both of them together will run around the 50-60$ price range. i would also pick up some djeep lighters and a perfect cutter or two just to have for in a vehicle or travel bag.
