Review on Swordfish Pointi 8mm Manual Desktop Pencil Sharpener Ref: 40235 by Morgan Gilmore

It had good reviews so I decided to give it a try for my pastels since I've had a heck of a lot of time with the many sharpeners I already have. The blade mechanism in this one is sharp enough not to break the pastel stick, however it wasn't sharpened as much until half of the new pastel stick was chewed. It doesn't hold up well with a clip and the slide mechanism is of poor quality so maybe it's a defect and that's why it ate my pencil. I'm waiting for the seller's response to my concern and return.
