Nachdem ich bereits das Zigarrenmesser von Victorinox mit einem Hoyo-Mod von CCW (auch als Partagás-Mod) getestet habe, wird es heute deutlich exclusiver: ich teste das Zigarrenmesser von Ralf Buchinger, alias Mr. Doublecut: The Doublecut
Wer The Doublecut das erste Mal in die Hand nimmt, bemerkt sofort die solide und robuste Bauweise. Diese Cutter ist kein Leichtgewicht, sondern wirkt wie aus einem Block gefräst, was auch tatsächlich auf das Gehäuse zutrifft. Die ebenfalls sehr massive Klinge ist selbstverständlich handgefertigt und genügt allerhöchsten Ansprüchen.
Das in Deutschland gefertigte Doublecut wird in verschiedenen Ausführungen nach Kundenwunsch gefertigt. Bei dem Gehäuse kann zwischen Kupfer, Bonze und Titan gewählt werden. Beim Ziercover und weiteren Ausstattungen sind hingegen verschiedene individuelle Kundenwünsche umsetzbar. Neben verschiedenen Hölzern und Acrylvarianten sind, wie hier gezeigt, auch Horn, Perlmutt oder Carbon möglich.
Das Herzstück, die 7 cm lange Klinge, ist in zwei Varianten lieferbar: eine Standardklinge aus hochwertigem Messerstahl CPM-D2 und eine in den Niederlanden handgeschmiedete Klinge aus Damaststahl. Alle Klingen sind auf praxistaugliche 61 HRC gehärtet.
Als besonderes Gimmick ist am Klingenende ein Zigarrenmodell angebracht, welches zusammen mit dem Gimping am Klingenrücken den Eindruck einer brennenden Zigarre vermittelt, von der Rauch aufsteigt.
Voll geöffnet ist The Doublecut 17 cm lang und liegt durch sein Gewicht von etwa 185 g (Bronze und Kuper, Titan 140 g) satt und gut kontrollierbar in der Hand.
Im Gegensatz zu anderen klappbaren Manufaktur-Messern mit Zigarrencutter, die oft nur als Deco für Instagram-Fotos taugen, ist das Doublecut tatsächlich ein vollwertiger und hervorragend schneidender Zigarrencutter. Durch die zwei Lochöffnungen lassen sich Zigarren von Ringmaß 36 bis hin zu großzügigen 58 perfekt öffnen. Mit ein bisschen Übung lassen sich aber auch andere Formate öffnen und selbst Pyramiden sind kein Problem, sofern man zweimal cuttet. Auch eine Form von Doublecut. Durch die nur auf einer Seite angeschliffene Klinge ist dabei sichergestellt, dass das empfindliche Deckblatt einer hochwertigen Zigarre nicht beschädigt wird und so die besten Voraussetzungen für einen perfekten Rauchgenuss geschaffen werden.
Der Vollständigkeit halber möchte ich nicht unerwähnt lassen, dass The Doublecut auch als stabiles Jagdmesser eine hervorragende Figur macht
Gefertigt wird The Doublecut bei Midgards-Messer aus Hilzingen-Binningen, in deren Shop The Doublecut auch bestellbar ist und zu denen ich in keinerlei geschäftlicher Verbindung stehe.
Die gezeigten Messer wurden mir von Ralf Buchinger für den Test leihweise zur Verfügung gestellt. Das vordere Messer mit der Klingenkennzeichnung „RB 19/020“ stammt aus der Fertigung von Ralf Buchinger, die restlichen drei von Midgards-Messer.

The Doublecut (cigar cutter)
Auch in deutscher Sprache
After I have already tested the cigar knife from Victorinox with a Hoyo-mod from CCW (also as Partagás-mod), today it will be much more exclusive: I test the cigar knife from Ralf Buchinger, aka Mr. Doublecut: The Doublecut
If you take The Doublecut in your hand for the first time, you will immediately notice the solid and robust construction. This cutter is not a lightweight, but looks like it was milled from a block, which actually applies to the housing. The also very massive blade is of course handmade and meets the very highest standards.
The Doublecut, which is made in Germany, is manufactured in different versions according to the customer's wishes. For the case, you can choose between copper, bonze and titanium. For the decorative cover and other features, on the other hand, various individual customer wishes can be implemented. In addition to various woods and acrylic variants, horn, mother-of-pearl or carbon are also possible, as shown here.
The centerpiece, the 7 cm long blade, is available in two versions: a standard blade made of high-quality knife steel CPM-D2 and a blade hand-forged in the Netherlands from Damascus steel. All blades are hardened to a practical 61 HRC.
As a special gimmick, a cigar model is attached to the end of the blade, which together with the gimping on the back of the blade gives the impression of a burning cigar with smoke rising from it.
Fully opened, The Doublecut is 17 cm long and its weight of about 185 g (bronze and copper, titanium 140 g) makes it feel full and easy to control in the hand.
Unlike other folding manufacture knives with cigar cutter, which are often only good as deco for Instagram photos, the Doublecut is actually a full-fledged and excellent cutting cigar cutter. The two hole openings allow cigars from ring gauge 36 up to a generous 58 to be opened perfectly. With a little practice, however, other formats can also be opened and even pyramids are no problem, provided you cut twice. This is also a form of double cut. The blade is sharpened on only one side, ensuring that the sensitive wrapper leaf of a high-quality cigar is not damaged, thus creating the best conditions for perfect smoking enjoyment.
For the sake of completeness, I would like to mention that The Doublecut also cuts an excellent figure as a sturdy hunting knife.
The Doublecut is manufactured by Midgards-Messer from Hilzingen-Binningen (Germany), in whose store The Doublecut can also be ordered and with whom I have no business connection.
The knives shown were lent to me by Ralf Buchinger for the test. The front knife with the blade marking "RB 19/020" comes from the production of Ralf Buchinger, the remaining three from Midgards knives.
