Review on ๐Ÿ”ซ M+R Brass Artists Pencil Sharpener - Choose from 4 Shapes! Made in Germany - Finest Quality Worldwide! (604 - Bullet/Grenade) by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Highly functional, durable and stylish sharpener

All four M+R sharpeners are excellent in every respect! I use two of these daily. Bullet 604 is easy to carry in a watch pocket on a pair of jeans. I've been using mine for 15 months without changing the blade and it still produces a sharp edge. No corrosion or signs of wear (despite several washes when I left them in my bag). The 603 Wedge is a great desktop sharpener for writers and artists who use both standard and large pens. Mine is rarely used but my giant Tri-Rex B21, Koala and General's Cartooning 6990 still have sharp tips (photo attached). It produces very sharp tips on my commonly used standard sizes Calpino No.2, Blackwing 344, Moon Products Futura 2, Blackwing 16.2 and General's Semi-Hex 498-2 (photo attached). On many standard pencils, this sharpener produces a point comparable to two-stage manual sharpeners designed specifically for "long points".

Pros
  • Mobius + Ruppert brass sharpener - MADE IN GERMANY
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
