In order for the loose piece to come out, you need to release the blade again. One of the most interesting things about the Colibri compared to other v-cutters is that the clipped cap falls into an area in the back of the cutter. As the blade cuts through the cap and comes to the end of its journey, it locks in place with an audible click and stays that way until you push down on the trigger again. You then put the cap of the cigar into the indention and push down on the top section, which results in a smooth motion that forces the actual cutter itself through the cap of the cigar. The rubber on the main body of the cutter is soft to the touch, a nice contrast to the sleek metal that makes up the top and the bottom sections. The stainless steel blade is opened by pushing down on a small nub on the bottom end of the cutter, which releases the spring loaded section upwards. It is heavier and more substantial in your hand than you might think, in fact almost shockingly heavy for the size. XIKAR’s cutter uses a v-like blade where the sides of the v are the first to touch the cigar on the outside areas, and the middle is the final part to come in contact with the blade. On a traditional v-cutter, the triangular shaped blade will have its tip break the cap, from the center of the cigar, and then continue to penetrate the cigar. It features a reverse v-cut, similar to the XIKAR XV, a process I described as: Colibri says it can handle 60 ring gauge cigars, although larger cigars were able to be cut though with a slightly shallower cut. It is in much the same style as the recently-launched Colibri Stealth 3 lighter and the two accessories certainly compliment one another. Each cutter is sold for $39 regardless of accent color and comes enclosed in a separate Colibri gift box. The Colibri V-Cut features a black rubber base and is sold with three different anodized accent colors: black, red and blue. It has an all-metal construction along with a rubberized finish on the main part of the cutter, reversed stainless steel blade and a trigger nob on the front to release the blade. At the 2013 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show, Colibri showed off its latest cutter, the Colibri V-Cut.
