Long Point Sharpeners - Pack of 20

Works great on all of my pencils and is VERY good for the price. 50 cents for a sharpener, and they last me about a month. Would definitely recommend!

Works well. Very light, very cheap (hence the box). Sharp blades, but cuts roughly - it takes a bit more time to get an even cut compared to the Blackwing, Kum, etc. Here’s a few shots how it compares to the Blackwing single stage and my personal favorite, the Mitsubishi KH-20. Pencil is my favorite: Tombow 2558 “B”. Overall, my favorite portable sharpener. Much cheaper and easier to carry than the Blackwing (what I’m using now as a portable sharpener).

You could spend this much for one German made sharpener and not get as fine a long point. Getting a pack of 20 is a bargain. The blades are sharp and perform well. I have no doubt the blades will not hold their edge as long, but at this price who cares.

So far these have been amazing. I was hesitant to try this sharpener on a nicer pencil even though they came highly recommended (by someone who uses them on Blackwing 602's). So I tried it on a pencil I don't really like, a WOPEX pencil, and I got a long ribbon curl with the WOPEX! No other pencil sharpener I have can do that! Usually what I get is a mess of small chips. I then tried it on a Steadler Norica and the curl off that would make Norm Abram excited (old reference). Then I tried it on a brand new Tombow Mono100 and it sharpened that pencil like a dream! The point is perfect, it looks like it was sharpened by a wall mounted sharpener, not dinky piece of plastic hand held sharpener, and the point isn't like the usual hand held sharpener shard of broken glass point that most of them produce, this is a bonafide point (I got this point on all three pencils I sharpened, the WOPEX, the Norica, and the Mono100). The plastic housing is cheap, there's no way to be nice about that. The whole sharpener screams cheap and it's so light and rather small, but it does what it's supposed to do, very well. In fact the whole box of 20 sharpeners was a bit surprising on how small it was. These would make great little gifts to someone who like pencils, especially once they have tried it because they will want more.

These sharpeners make excellent long tips on my Mitsu-Bishi Hi Uni 2B pencils The point is sturdy and smoothly sharpened. There is no cover to the sharpener but it makes it easier to tap out shavings caught on the blade. I just sharpen over a tissue and then throw the tissue away when I’m finished writing. I’ve been using one sharpener for a couple weeks and have gone through two pencils and the sharpener is not dull.

These are good for the price, but seem to go dull a little too quickly.

Very good for the price especially

I've used about 10 of the 20. Of those 10, I have had to throw away 4 or 5 after using for just a few colored pencils. The problem is that they do not give a long point, as advertised. The problem exists regardless of the brand of colored pencil . I throw them away rather than have to adjust my technique to having only a short and not sharp point. About half of those I have tried work great and for a reasonable amount of sharpenings. I will not be buying again because of this problem. Even for half the sharpeners, the price is OK, but the hassle makes it not worth the purchase.
