Review on Efficient 3-Pack: KUM 1040501 2-Hole Pencil Sharpener with Magnesium Alloy Wedge Profile by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not for Prismacolor Softcore pencils!

I am very disappointed in these sharpeners. I previously purchased a Kum square hole sharpener which came with extra blades. And absolutely love her. I bought these sharpeners thinking the angle of the holes would allow me to use a longer tip if needed. They do the job but break every single one of my Prismacolor soft pencils, including ones I've never had a problem with. I've found them to be excellent at sharpening my paper stumps so all is not lost. I left my rating at 3 stars because I don't know how they work with harder pens. But for Prismacolor soft cores, it's not your friend.
