Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this sharpener to sharpen my Prismacolor Verithins and Premier Colored Pencils. I used it for the initial sharpening of the Verithins, and it performed exactly as it should. Brought every pencil to a perfect point, and only took one try every time. Note: that does have to do with the pencil quality, also. If the lead inside the pencil breaks, it won't matter what sharpener you use, it will constantly break and fall out (depending, of course, on how broken the lead is inside). Doing the initial sharpening, the canister had to be emptied about every 7 to 9 pencils. It's not a big deal, though, really, and subsequent maintenance sharpening would not fill it for quite some time. I'm happy. Examining it when it first arrived, I was impressed by the quality of the blades. You will love it if you're looking for a sharpener that won't destroy your nice, expensive pencils.
