This sharpener has 5 different angles, which are easy to set. 1 and 2 are great for colored pencils and other easily breakable pencils. 2-4 are great for graphite pencils, the lowest number for the softest lead. On grade 5 you get the perfect long point for writing, especially HB and stiffer pencils. This is really easy to use, and the blade is so sharp.

Have you noticed that a new pencil comes sharpened to a steep angle, short point? This makes it much less likely to break and long lasting during use. A standard sharpener will put a long gently angled point on the pencil that is double the length of the original making it much easier to break with little pressure. This sharpener is the only one I have found that will sharpen your pencils to the same angle as the original manufacturers. It is fully adjustable to 5 different angles and holds the shavings inside until you empty it. In my experience it is very sharp and puts a nice "clean" point on your pencils. If you use good old fashion pencils this is definitely the sharpener to have. I highly recommend it.

Sharpens pencil tips in any style you like from sharp and stubby to long and pointy and anything in between. It is a great hand sharpener that operates like a finely tuned machine. I can't say how long the blade will last since I just got it but it is a good price. Advantage over automatic ones is that it is quiet too! It is the best I have ever used, even considering crank sharpeners and electric sharpeners. Highly recommended.

Now that I am back golfing I using golf pencils ✏️ on the course. Periodically I want it sharper. A higher golf score means using more lead. Additionally we have golf size pencils in the church sanctuary seat pockets. They are always way past sharp, almost no lead showing so I take my portable pencil sharpener with me to church and sharpen the pencil I'm using. Very handy and of course portable.
