Grammar

But and though in the same sentence.

Could you somebody please let me know if my sentence below is correct:

"I didn't give him all of the pens I have, but I gave most of my pens to him though".

It was just a casual conversation, and I was wondering if I made a grammar blunder.

Thanks!

AABB1 "I didn't give him all of the pens I have, but I gave most of my pens to him though". This event happened in the past, so you no longer have all the pens you once had. I didn't give him all of the pens I had , but I gave most of my pens to him.

I didn't give him all of the pens I had, but I gave most of my pens to him.

(Since you have "but," "though" would be redundant.)
