Quality Importers Trading Co. has announced six new colorways for the XIKAR Xi2 cutter.

They are part of the XIKAR Xi2 Hot Rod Series, which is inspired by American hot rod culture and the flame paint jobs that can oftentimes be found on those vehicles. All of the cutters are mechanically the same: the Xi’s signature teardrop body houses two stainless steel blades that are capable of cutting cigars up to 60 ring gauge. What sets them apart is the paint job applied to the fiberglass body. Each cutter has a lifetime warranty.

Each cutter has an MSRP of $59.99:

  • XIKAR Xi2 Hot Rod Series Black With Blue Flames
  • XIKAR Xi2 Hot Rod Series Black With Orange Flames
  • XIKAR Xi2 Hot Rod Series Black With Purple Flames
  • XIKAR Xi2 Hot Rod Series Blue With Orange Flames
  • XIKAR Xi2 Hot Rod Series Gray With Purple Flames
  • XIKAR Xi2 Hot Rod Series Red With Orange Flames

Quality Importers Trading Co. says the graphics are applied at the company’s own printing facility.

The XIKAR Xi2 Hot Rod Series is now shipping to stores.
