Review on Efficient Kum Magnesium Alloy Pencil Sharpeners with Long Point Steel Blade and 1-Hole Design by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best pencil sharpener I've ever owned

I want to dispel a lot of negative feedback about sellers selling faulty sharpeners that they mishandled; This sharpener gets the job done. I've run everything I have in my arsenal through him and every time after he's sharpened over 100 pencils he manages to give absolutely perfect advice. I chose 3 different types of pencils to finally prove the value of this pencil destroyer. A regular HB2 Soft #2 Hex Wood Pencil, a Prismacolor Cylinder Wood Colored Pencil, and a Prismacolor Ebony Drawing Pencil, all in pretty bad, pre-sharpened condition. Pencil #2 was sharpened to a super fine point. , capable of drawing incredibly fine lines as if it were a professional tool, with very smooth wood surrounding the graphite inside. After 20 seconds of sharpening it gets a precise point with nice smooth wood around it. He even managed to sharpen it fully without breaking the shavings! The Prismacolor drawing pencil was something I worried about because the very thick graphite inside required a hard sharpener to keep it from chipping or breaking when sharpened, but the long nib comes back up and transforms the broken nib into a precision art tool ! Bottom line, I think this is an extremely important, vital tool. If you want your pens to keep their peak performance, don't accept replacements. If this sharpener ever fails me for some reason I'll go back and fix it, but I have pretty strong faith in it.

Pros
  • These sharpeners position the pencil at a more precise angle
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
