🖊️ Faber-Castell Double Hole Metal Sharpener: Ideal for Graphite, Color, and Pastel Pencils Review

This is a study sharpener but I still have trouble getting my Faber Castell pastel pencils to sharpen. I'm a little frustrated as I found this sharpener to be probably the best for keeping the edge sharp. It's an improvement over a few other sharpeners I've tried, but like I said, it's not the perfect solution I was hoping for.

Can you use a bigger hole? Yes it works. But that doesn't give you a perfectly sharp tip, which…

Nothing to complain about. That's exactly what I wanted. I love them so much that I recently bought another one in case I lose them and need to keep the glasses I like. To answer a potential buyer's question, yes, the colored side does not sharpen in the same way or to the same extent as the regular pencil side. However, I stuck the colored pencil into the side of the graphite pencils and he sharpened it into a long thin point. Note: I am planning to buy some new colored pencils - two identical
