Calcutta Metal Works Cigar Scissors Review

[ky70]

I'm with Ropey. I paid $7 and that's about where it should be priced. There's a big difference in quality when compared to the refined Xikar mtx tool. The best part of the Calcutta for me is the pointy edged plug tool that I like to use to "aerate" cigars with tight draws.

That's for the review. I have these same ones as well, though I paid $7.00 on Cbid.

I do have some slight problems with them, which means I really never use them:

1) The scissor blades are quite thick metal and fairly dull, meaning they tend to "crunch" the cap rather than make a nice razor-like slice through it.
2) The scissors fold up for storage. But when using the scissors to cut a cigar, the handles tend to fold up on themselves at those fold-points.
3) There's a slight gap between the blades when closed (the pivot point is a bit loose) and this further impedes cutting ability.

I should really take these in and have them sharpened and bent a little so the two blades slide more closely past each other. That could make these more usable. As of now, they're pretty much my last choice for cutting cigars.
