Review: The Best Manual Pencil Sharpener Ever Created - I don't often write reviews, least of all for pencil sharpeners (of which I can recall having purchased only one other), but I feel confident--and, indeed, compelled by my confidence--to declare to the world: THIS IS THE BEST MANUAL PENCIL SHARPENER EVER CREATED. It does what you expect (i.e., sharpen your pencil); it does it very well (i.e., makes it sharp without breaking the lead or chipping the wood); and it is compact, ergonomical, and attractive besides. Don't spend another moment deliberating--this is the one.
Review: Best pencil sharpener I ever used for color pencils - Best pencil sharpener for color pencils I ever got or used. I bought this to sharpen my very expensive color pencil set. I use when I do my coloring. I like the I can get my tips to a sharp point or I can have a blunt point. The ratchet sharpener is very fast at getting my pencils sharpened, but I don't use it that way often. I actually just twist my pencils one direction a few times and they are good to go.. it holds a lot of shavings I was surprised by that. actually I figured I would have to be dumping it every time I used it, but come to find out that is not the case at all. I hardly ever dump it. It takes me quite a few sharpenings before I realize that I need to dump it. then some shavings get stuck, but I expect that to happen with these type of sharpeners. Over all I like it. I got the blue one it's a pretty blue too. I choose to have a random color sent for just under $2.00 yes that is right just under two dollars I got a pencil sharpener that is well worth! it blew me away. I was not expecting much of this sharpener for the price of it. But it's a great one I will definitely be getting another one for my regular pencils, and for the kids to use at school! This sharpener works like a charm, and for the cost it can't be beat. Go ahead and get it because you will not regret it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with triangular-shaped regular size pencils?**
A: I tried it on some triangular shaped Faber-Castell colored pencils and it didn't really work that well. The blade got caught on the corners.

**Q: Does this sharpener work for multiple pencil sizes- in particular the larger size for more beginning writers?**
A: Not the one that I have.  The opening is just for the standard size pencil.

**Q: Does this sharpen Prismacolor Premier pencils well?**
A: Well, contrary to another answer....I don't have a problem sharpening my Prismacolor Premier.  The Derwent coloursoft is a tight fit (it's thicker than prisma), but it will work. Derwent Inktense, Faber Castell polychormos, Irojeten all sharpen just fine.  You do of course have to check the pencil after a few twists so you don't just sharpen the lead away.

**Q: Does it sharpen using a single straight blade or the spiral Blade?**
A: It has a straight blade that is on a little pivot so that when you "twist" the pencil back and forth....not turn round and round, it sharpens it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simplest (& sharpest) Tool of the Year
*by F***D on January 4, 2026*

What an unexpected surprise find! This product is such an incredible improvement over pencil sharpeners of my past. It is self contained and keeps the shavings nicely stored within its casing. No more sharpening pencils over a garbage pail. Emptying the shavings is simple and mess-free. An extra feature of this tool is a dual position switch that allows you to choose the sharpness of the point. It came set in the sharpest point position and it does produce very sharp pencil points. I now want to order more and put them in every drawer or container that pencils are stored. Definitely worth a few more Penny’s for all the conveniences this simple tool provides.
