is there such a thing as a good punch
#1
i think it's about time for one. the one i have is really cheap and cheesey. is there such thing as a good one? i noticed cuban crafters has some with lifetime warranties, but they look cheap and cheesey just like the one i already have. should i even bother with a new one? what do you guys use?

I was going to recommend the Xikar as well. You can find it here.

I too have the xikar punch and love it. ITs got a lifetime warranty so why not. Its metal and very heavy/sturdy feeling.

I too have this punch (The one on the left )and it is great.A little more expensive than the ones a the register but well worth it as it should be the last punch I ever have to buy ,unless I lose it as it has a lifetime warranty from Xikar.

I have made a few punches that work really well out of fired brass for rifles (and one pistol a Nagant .38). They take a little sharpening now and again but are great conversation starters at the smoking lounge.

Take a 30 calibre shell (300 win-mag thru 7.62 x 39) and with a dremel or jewelers file sharpen shell mouth so that the bevel of the cutting edge is to the inside. If you sharpen the outside it has a tendency to crack the cap. A little touch up now and then and you're good to go!

 

One to buy though, like those guys I lust after a xicar punch... I always end up spending my pennies on cigars when I get to the shop.
It's hard to keep a good man down.
