I've had this punch for years.  And while I wouldn't say I use it frequently it has seen its share of work.  I think it must be a bit sharper than some of my other punches because its easier to punch thicker paper like card stock.  The handle is also quite comfortable and allow me to punch a lot without my hand getting too tired.  Any then there's the fact that it punches hearts.  Not only are the holes cute but you can save the punched out pieces (which are caught in a tiny chamber) for other projects.  I love it!
