Blackwing Two-Step Long Point Pencil Sharpener, German Steel, Grey

Recently, I was excited to enter the world of quality pencils. While I still think I prefer a nice medium point roller ball pen, the artisan nature of a top shelf pencil is attractive. So along with my Mitsubishi, pencils, like a kid going shopping for school supplies, I knew I needed a new and exciting pencil sharpener. This black wing two step long point pencil sharpener is the first two step sharpener I’ve ever used. And while it may seem unnecessary, I did find that it actually worked to produce a sharper point than any other sharpener I’ve used. There’s also a deep satisfaction to watching it first remove the outer wood, and then on stage two refining your point to needle sharpness. The only drawback to the sharpener is that it doesn’t hold a lot of residue before it needs to be dumped. But you don’t buy a pencil sharpener to store a ton of shavings, you buy it to make your pencil sharp. And this one does exactly that. I didn’t notice any lead breakage, it’s easy to use, durable, and compact enough to pack in any backpack or pencil case. Great value for money and I’ve even received compliments on the quality of the point this sharpener will produce.

Where has this sharpener been all my life?! The long point is ideal and I’ve never been able to get a pencil this sharp before.

I've always been picky about pencil sharpeners. The handheld ones like this always suck. EXCEPT THIS ONE. It's seriously a game changer. Actually works without breaking off the nib. Easy to empty. Super sharp blade helps a lot! Its size is perfect to hold enough shavings but also is portable. I bought the other handheld sharpener by the same company and it is not as good. This one is the best

Works great. One step sharpens the wood and the other part sharpens the lead. It makes a perfectly pointy pencil tip. I never would’ve imagined a set of pencils and a sharpener would make me this happy.

I enjoy both the Blackwing sharpener’s. I believe both would be improved by adding a clip/loop to attach it to/hang it on something. But then we wouldn’t misplace them and have to buy more! The two step process creates a longer, sharper point. That can be riskier to breaking but, thats an outlier. Quality item.

This sharpener was recommended at an art class. I am using the sharpener to sharpen Prismicolor colored pencils which cannot be put into an electric sharpener. I am pleased that I am able to get a relatively fine point with the sharpener. The barrel that holds the shavings is small. That's the trade off for a small sharpener that I can take into the field.

Simple effective method to sharpen pencils so the tips last

Had an issue with the first one I received, but customer service took care of it quickly. The second one I received works perfectly. I like this sharpener better then the bigger, more expensive one offered by Blackwing.

The lid is a singular piece that connects to the body via friction. The flexibility that allows it to open and close is because it tapers and pinches to a point where the hinge (a flap of plastic, really) is basically PAPER THIN. You best bet it'll break off. Guess it still do what a sharpener says it be do, man. Lid still sucks, though.

No daña las puntas y quedan muy afilados los lápices, es muy satisfactorio. Lo uso muy a menudo y no parece sufrir daños de uso. De lo mejor que hay.

Nice!

Muy buen acabado y muy efectivo. Con este sacapuntas se consigue un acabado perfecto, liso y sin rebanas ni en la madera ni en el grafito. No vendría mal una breve descripción del modo de uso de los dos orificios o de la ubicación de las cuchillas de repuesto. Solo resulta algo incómodo la apertura de la tapa. La única lastima es que el saca-puntas no esté confeccionado en un material más noble que el plástico, claro que entonces resultaría óbviamente más caro.

スケッチ行に持参するつもりで購入したが、鉛筆カスがすぐ溜まってしまうため、頻繁に描く人にはお薦めできない。切れ味も今一つで値段に見合ってない。
