Mr. Pen- Owl Shaped Pencil Sharpener: Fun and Cute Manual Sharpener for Kids and Colored Pencils Review

I never thought I would get this excited about a pencil sharpener but after spending $80 on several electric sharpeners that broke within a few months, and was frustrated with mechanical sharpeners that just snap off the tip of the pencil when it gets sharp enough, this is a great buy. It works great, sharpens quickly and doesn't break the pen or nib. It's super cute too.

I'm an adult - yes, an adult - and I bought this sharpener because I used to work with Mr. Pen. And this one did not disappoint! I FINALLY found a sharpener that 1) doesn't eat my crayons to death and 2) sharpens them so the lead doesn't fall out later. It sharpens just as smoothly. It has an old school look that "stays on the table" during use but has no suction at the bottom. However, this is not necessary! Just insert the pencil all the way; keep the sharpener still; and let the sharpener do

4 months update/15. January 2021: I was pleasantly surprised by this cute little owl sharpener! It will continue to sharpen hard-tipped and graphite crayons to a good point with ease. The drawer didn't go missing as expected, but it didn't get any easier to remove and reinsert to empty. My 4 year old daughter has found it easier to remove pins as she has a lot more practice now. Everything is intact and holding up much better than I initially thought. Upgraded from 3 to 5 stars. Original review
