## Description

Manual Sharpener

Review: It seems to work very well on first uses - Bought this for my sister who lives out of state. She was quite happy to receive a nice pencil sharpener. She was impressed by the first cut and resulting tip on a Dixon Ticonderoga pencil. Hopefully it will cut just as nice with some Derwent Inktense colored pencils that she also got. The unit is designed to come apart. The crankshaft and cutting unit just need a twist and pull and it will come out. This is a good thing as it will help if you need to clean it out or see if a tip is broken off in the cutter. I see people's reviews complaining how the unit was in two parts when it arrived and it "looks" (I could be wrong here) to me like they just didn't know that they can just push the cutting unit back in and twist and lock it back into place and its fine again. Anyway there is also a button that is supposed to removed broken tips. (Broken tips are going to happen, esp if you have cheaper colored pencils and even more so if you drop the pencils and break the lead inside the pencil without even realizing it). The recipient was happy to get this and see it work well, which makes me happy. Learn how it is supposed to work, it can take a second. I believe you can only sharpen the pencil cranking in a clockwise direction. It should "auto" stop when the pencil is sharp too, and it did for the tests that I saw.
Review: Best Sharpener Ever - I can't go back to another sharpener after getting this. It sharpens pencils to a long point, doesn't over-sharpen, never breaks the lead, and the tips are always perfectly smooth. The 9852EW in combination with this are so good I may never go back to mechanical pencils again. The design is also charming and stylish. It did chew up a soft Crayola colored pencil and would've kept sharpening it to a nub. So this product is best for regular writing pencils. This is the ONLY manual sharpener I've ever used that never breaks the lead. I don't bother using those sharpeners that fit in a bag or pocket anymore. I just bring sharp pencils, and since they are 9852EW they always last until I'm back home. Just try this sharpener and a box of Mitsubishi pencils. They will sharpen so smoothly, last so long, and write so well that you won't want a mechanical pencil again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new favorite pencil sharpener!
*by S***S on January 23, 2025*

This is a great colored pencil sharpener! It's very well made. The shavings bin on the bottom is twice as deep as my other helical type sharpener which means fewer trips to the waste basket. The "rabbit ear" style pinchers on the top front which hold the pencil in place during sharpening work easily. You poke the pencil into the hole while pinching those sticky-uppy parts and pull the front out until it grasps the pencil firmly. You let go, hold the sharpener with your left hand and crank the crank with your right hand, gently. Pencils with hard wood casings might be harder to sharpen but this sharpener can handle it. The button to get a sharp point or a rounded point works just fine, in for rounded point, out for sharp point. And I do love that long long point. I thought I'd be breaking a lot of tips, but if I'm coloring gently as I should for layering, that point lasts! And the accuracy of a fine sharp point is SO satisfying! When the front of the sharpener is out, the shavings bin is not open at the top where there might be a danger of shavings falling out, it is covered . This, in my opinion, makes this sharpener just a little above my other favorite sharpener. My Dahle 133 will give me very good performance every day for about 4 years, and a nice sharp regular length point. This sharpener is bigger--a real handful--and gives a fabulous long point. It all depends on what you're looking for. I wanted TWO helical sharpeners so I wouldn't run out of help. Nothing like a decent sharpener to make coloring a true pleasure. I RECOMMEND this sharpener! Dahle's "big brother!"
