I purchased this punch in the US, where it was only used for a test punch, and have been storing it since. The punch itself is clean from the time of purchase, and the punching action still works perfectly. The silver parts of the punch have very little damage. Please check the images. The images show the results of punching for this listing. (You can punch with one hand, but because of the intricate design, it's best to place it on a table to avoid misalignment.) Images from the fifth one onward are stock photos. This Martha Stewart punch may be one of the most frequently used and searched punches. In spring, it can be used as branches to add flowers, in summer as coral or coral reefs, in autumn as autumn leaves, and in the holiday season to make wreaths or trees... It's a very versatile punch that can be used throughout the year.
