I once had the Xikar Mammoth Bone cutter, and it gave me that same "special type of joy and pride of ownership". Eventually I thought it was time for someone else to enjoy it and I sold it here. I had bought it very well so I was able to sell it very well, which put it in reach of someone else who may have loved it from afar as long as I did.
This punch doesn't raise that kind of excitement, but I totally get where you're coming from.
