Review on πŸ“ Mitsubishi Pencil Pocket Sharpener DPS6001P: Ideal for Uni 2.0mm Wick Holder Sharpening by Jessica Lewis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect and perfect to wear - buy!

I have two main hands - a blue spinning Staedtler and a tiny Kum with a clear tip. This Mitsubishi beat them both! First, my main issue with the other two sharpeners is their constant chipping. I can't take any of these without coating my bag and all my other drawing tools in fine graphite powder. Before I got this Mitsubishi, I resorted to sealing the Krum's holes with a piece of duct tape. This Mitsubishi hinged lid appears to have been specifically designed to solve this problem - it opens and closes quickly and easily, effectively sealing the hole and preventing chips from escaping. I was afraid it would open in my pocket, but after four months of constant use and travel, this hasn't happened yet. It is very small and looks well built. Mine sharpens the line PERFECTLY, almost as sharp as you can imagine. I no longer use my spinning pointer because it keeps snapping my lines - I only use it with Krum now. The downside would be the difficulty in accessing its interior - others have opened it but I haven't really tried. Not sure if the blade is interchangeable (edit: blade is available and interchangeable, see photo). Apparently others got the one with the blade too. However, mine is perfect with no signs of tarnishing and I use it A LOT. Even if it eventually "died" I have no problem buying another one. I'll probably buy 2 or 3 more anyway to keep in reserve. If you use lead pointers regularly, I promise you need this lead pointer! The Japanese and their mangaka understood that.
