Variety of sharpeners

A few years ago I had the same little pointer that a company gave me for free. It worked wonderfully and I liked it. When I saw these little gems, I jumped at the opportunity to get them. However, I was shocked at the price. It arrived quickly and looked just like the picture. I put a point on 2H and the result wasn't what I was hoping for; it was stupid. I thought I was using it wrong so I tried everything to get a good lead point. Haven't managed to get a point on any line yet; they are allโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Comes with a polystyrene body and assorted colors
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

Not much would be said about these sharpeners , but throw fifty bucks at the alternatives and you'll see the difference. The only "minusโ€ is the lack of a choice of colors, but pink suits real men. Right? If anyone would like pink just let me know. Color aside it's definitely thin, very light, perfectly sharpens the lead and gets rid of dust (graphite goes with all these sharpeners without exception, for best results sharpen over a paper towel or trash can, or go ahead and be stubborn and haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • It has a recessed gripping area on both sides, used for 2mm leads
Cons
  • Only available in black

Best suited for portable pointers

This little KUM is probably the best 2mm portable pointer on the market. It's small, light and fits on a keychain or ring. In my experience it's a little smoother than the equivalent Faber model as the blade is a little less aggressive. On the other hand, both it and Faber contain no lead shavings, so you'll need to carefully hold it over a trash can or waste paper when using it. The only reason I don't give five stars is the price. You can get these things for less than a dollar in someโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Slate Pointer Polystyrene sharpener
Cons
  • Some bugs
