  • Publication number: 20230397656
    Abstract: A cigar cutter having a locking mechanism includes a rotatable ring, an elastic element, a locking assembly and an arresting portion. When a cutting blade unit of the cigar cutter is pressed, the rotatable ring is driven to rotate to compress the elastic element, and the arresting portion will engage with a plate of the locking assembly so that the cigar cutter enters a closed state. When an operation key of the locking assembly is pushed, the plate no longer blocks the arresting portion, and a force of the elastic element will drive the rotatable ring to rotate reversely so that the arresting portion is moved to its original position, thereby keeping the cigar cutter in an open state.
