Review on ๐Ÿ–๏ธ Prismacolor 1774266 Scholar Pencil Sharpener: Precision and Durability for Enhanced Creative Delight! by Jessica Lewis

Proper use of sharpener

After reading some reports of how difficult it is to sharpen prismacolor colored pencils without damaging them, I decided to experiment with this sharpener and the one said to be for prismacolor Premium products was manufactured. Here's what I found. While the one made specifically for premium pens is fairly sharp, I've had a harder time getting it to work without "eating" the pen and sharpening it properly. This sharpener worked well for me, but that was my technique. When you first insert a pencil into the sharpener, it's a bit unstable, so I put it perpendicular to the ground with the sharpener up. After a few twists of the NOT pencil sharpener in this position, it starts to form a point, then I turn it horizontal to the ground and twist the sharpener to finish the job. Hold the pencil taut, the sharpener is very conveniently shaped to twist easily in my hand and I've had great results every time. Remember to hold the pencil securely and tautly in the sharpener and twist the sharpener, not the pencil. I hope this helps because these pens are too expensive to chew. My electric sharpener didn't work with these pencils.
