Review on Faber-Castell FC770307 Manual Pencil Sharpener: Efficient Sharpening for Blackberry Pencils by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very pretty if not very neat

The last thing I wanted to buy was another pencil sharpener. However, since the best multipurpose device I've found - the Dahle 133 - is hard to come by for less than $20, I have to find another option. Sorry, but I'm not going to spend $20 on a Dahle when it used to cost $11. I tested it with Polychromos, Brutfurner Square, Prismacolor Premier and Deli pens. That works fine. The only downside to this model is that when you fold it, the chips fly out of the compartments. A big plus of this model is that it's easy to open and empty, unlike one of my favorite sharpeners, the blue and silver Staedtler. Overall a good and versatile sharpener. I hope it holds up well because I've seen this item go over $10.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
