Scrim by HutcH Adds Mosaic Mammoth Cutter
Earlier this week, Rick Hutchings of Scrim by HutcH Studio announced a pair of new cutters that he will be releasing at the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show in July. Today, he announced a new cutter that is available immediately: the Mosaic Mammoth cutter.
As the name suggests, the handles are made in part from mammoth ivory that Hutchings says is 10,000 years old. To create the handle shape, Hutchings makes the material that holds the pieces together using an acrylic resin product, and while the color shown in the image is called black acrylic mirror, that resin can be dyed into an assortment of colors. Hutchings can also situate the mammoth ivory so that the end grain shows, giving the purchaser the ability to see the criss-cross patterns of the ivory. Between the uniqueness of each ivory piece and the customization options, Hutchings says that no two cutters will ever be alike.
Like his other creations, the Mosaic Mammoth handles are attached to a XIKAR Xi3 cutter body.
Each cutter is priced at $400 and comes with a hand sewn leather pouch. The Mosaic Mammoth cutter will be an ongoing, regular production item.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
