Review on ✏️ KUM 4in1 Pencil Sharpener with Colorful Container - Convenient and Versatile by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best sharpener.

I love Kum sharpener. This brand has ruined all my other sharpeners. I bought this because as a hobby artist I sharpen a lot of pencils and used a Kum Kum 107.02.01 wood sharpener. Pencil sharpener with 2 hole steel blade, colors vary greatly to the chagrin of my husband who was frustrated each time my homemade shaving pencil bin was knocked over by our toddler. Much to my chagrin, I bought it and it didn't disappoint. One side is perfect for my Prismacolor Verithins pencils (which a lot of people break and I'm sure it's because they don't have a proper sharpener) and the other side is perfect for Faber Castell and Prismacolor Premier graphite pencils. This is neither ground on the long nor on the short edge, but on a golden middle. It sharpens very sharply, makes long clean tidy chips and will keep working so don't sharpen too hard. The chips are sort of collected in a container. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the extra lead shavings spill out onto the inverted side and make a bit of a mess. It probably wouldn't have happened if I had taken more breaks to empty my sharpener, which I hate. So I'll probably bring a makeshift trash can to sharpen it. Won't husband be happy?

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
