Review on Automatic Sharpener Sketching Rechargeable Prismacolor by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First Impression

If you're looking at AFMAT sharpeners and wondering which one to choose for sharpening a long point, your answer will depend on the size of the pencils being used you will sharpen. This device appears to be an upgrade to https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07689L5L2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This new device can hold larger pencils - up to 9.6mm compared to the 8mm previous model My photos answer a question I wanted to know before ordering: does this sharpener shorten the overall length of the pencil or does it just cut the sides ?The pencil on the left was sharpened with a long point setting. It features a long, sharp point that is slightly shorter than the other two pins. The pencil in the center was sharpened in blunt point mode. As you can see in the photo, the pencil in the middle stays exactly the same length as the unsharpened pencil on the right. This confirms that the sharpener is excellent at removing wood while preserving the graphite. I like it. A lot of. I will update this after using it for a while.

Pros
  • ARTISTS LARGE PENCIL SHARPENER 9.6mm
Cons
  • Can't remember
