Xikar is a fairly new cutlery
company dedicated to providing value to consumers through unique, artful cutlery
at a fair price. XIKAR will provide these products through honest and ergonomic
design to achieve superior form, feel and function. XIKAR stands behind its
products through a lifetime total satisfaction warranty.
Kurt Van Keppel, who wanted to buy a good cigar cutter in 1994, found the inexpensive
models and the high-end models underperforming. So, he set out with Scott Almsberger
to match good design (ergonomics and function) with the best styling and materials.
The result was the Xi cutter, which they first assembled in their garages, and
is now the market leader in cigar cutlery. To follow are many choices in handle
material and color.
In 2000, Kurt and Scott decided to expand their product development into the
pocket folder market. That year, they exhibited at the Blade Show, to "learn
about the business," and they got good tips from custom knife makers like Tim
Herman, and knife manufacturers like Paul Gillespie and A.G. Russel. The following
year, XIKAR presented its first knife design, and in 2002 brought to market
its full-scale production knives, the 118 Elan, 138 Excel and 158 Excursion.
