Save your money, time and frustration.
Maybe I'm a little bit challenged? I bought a set of the very expensive Prismacolor Verithin pencils and thought - Okay I'll buy the expensive Prismacolor sharpener to go with it. I destroyed six of the expensive pencils with this sharpener before I got wise and went back to using the FREE pencil sharpener that came in a box of CRAYOLA colored pencils. ALL the pencils I sharpened with the freebie sharpener were within a millimeter of being the same length once sharpened. Don't waste your money. Get a cheap sharpener, the kind that gets shavings everywhere because it's open - then you can see exactly when the pencil is at the sharpness you desire AND you can save some cash. See photos of the sharpener I used and the results on my pencils - the six pencils on the top left were sharpened with the Prismacolor sharpener.
