Based on our own experience, this pencil sharpener delivers a crystal-clear sharp point every time, making our drawings appear more polished and professional.The transparent design makes it easy to see when the container needs to be emptied, and the size is perfect for carrying around in a pencil case. The only con is that it can be a bit difficult to twist the pencil in without the shavings getting stuck in the slot. Nevertheless, we highly recommend this sharpener to all artists and hobbyists See full review
