XIKAR 10mm Punch | Review

The XIKAR 10mm Punch Cutter ($64.99) packs two unique features over your standard cigar punch. First, there's an awl in the center of the circular blade that is designed to help you line up the cut in a better manner. Second, the blade has two different depth settings, allowing for a standard punch and also one of the shortest punches on the market. Sure, it cuts cleanly, but are these features all that useful? Brooks Whittington provides his thoughts.

It’s pronounced “all”, not “owl”.

Much respect to you folks at halfwheel! You all do fabulous work.

I personally like pronouncing the w in awl. Definitely doesn't sound like all. It's kinda like saying awful, but before you get to the f, you do l instead. I believe this is the correct way to pronounce awl.

I laughed at that as well. There's a ukrainian band I like and the singer writes in english, and she had the word owl in a lyric and she pronounced it like "bowl"... And then this guy comes along and screws up the pronunciation of awl. 😅😅😅

This vs the st dupont n colibri?

I usually prefer HST or Gold Dots for my 10mm, but I will have to look into this.

Am I dreaming or could this have been sharper? It seems critical that a punch be wickedly sharp to be worth it. And therefore the blade might be replaceable.

Awl is pronounced all
