Review on ✏️ M+R Magnesium Specialty Sharpener: German-Made Excellence at its Finest by Amber Perez

This is my second sharpener from M&R. The first was a round copper sharpener shaped like a washer. It was enough for me to believe in this brand so I bought it in this elusive hunt for the perfect sharpener. The pens I use are Prismacolor Premiere and Verithins, Faber Eco, CastleArt, Dixon and a few other sets that are similar in color. Draft for Prisma. These include pens with round and hexagonal shafts, as well as with oil and wax leads. The sharpener worked with all pencils. Let's start with the advantages: All three blades are quite sharp. The magnesium body is easy to grip thanks to the notches on the three corners of the triangular body. Each of the modes, barrel only, dotted only, and full pen, worked as intended. The standard point was achieved with a one-piece pencil sharpener. A much thinner tip could be obtained by first sharpening just the barrel and then finishing just the tip. The blades are interchangeable but not interchangeable; This sharpener uses three different blades. Now for the pros and cons: due to the design, it is inconvenient to sharpen a pencil by holding the pencil still and twisting the sharpener in your hand to prevent the stem from breaking. . The sharpener blade sometimes gets clogged with wood when trying to sharpen a dull pencil. The magnesium alloy case had sharp edges as a result of machining. The sharpener does not have the markings on my other M&R brass sharpener to indicate the model number for replacement blades. Final word: This is a really good, compact and lightweight sharpener that sharpens your pencil perfectly. I think the triangular shape is a bit overlooked and could be done in a wedge sharpener like the ubiquitous Alvin which I use for sharpening graphite.
