I got it to sharpen pastel pencils. Does a really nice job. You have to be aware of what you’re doing as it can sharpen the point to sharp. Pastel pencils will break if given too much of a point. After you realize when to stop it is easy to get the proper point repeated. I read on another review it is a good idea to sharpen a woodless graphite pencil periodically when doing pastel pencils to lubricate the sharpener. Pastel pencils are very abrasive so the graphite helps the helical blade last longer. Shavings are deposited in a drawer and it comes with a desk clamp. Another plus is when the helical blade does get dull it is replaceable. The auto stop feature can’t be used with pastel pencils but graphite pencils can take advantage of the auto stop which can prevent over sharpening. For standard 8mm diameter pencils. The pastel core kept breaking when I used a hand held sharpener. When I figured out how many turns of the handle needed that was no longer an issue with the pastel pencils. Great sharpener Review: Best sharpener I've ever used - I've used many different pencil sharpeners as I work in colored pencil and pastel pencils and almost all of them either broke or were impossible to get snapped leads out of. This sharpener is wonderful and easily creates a very fine point to all my pencils. ## Features - Extendable front plate holds pencil securely - Auto Stop when pencil becomes sharp to prevent over-sharpening - For standard 8mm diameter pencils - Desk clamp included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000TK1OWO | | Additional Features | Automatic Stop | | Best Sellers Rank | #97,276 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #426 in Pencil Sharpeners | | Brand | Swordfish | | Brand Name | Swordfish | | Color | Black, Grey | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 2,528 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05019118000906 | | Item Weight | 260 g | | Manufacturer | Swordfish | | Manufacturer Part Number | 40100 | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 40100 | | Power Source | Manual | | Specific Uses For Product | Graphite Pencil | | Target Audience | Artist, Designer, Professional, Student, Teacher | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Swordfish - **Color:** Black, Grey - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Power Source:** Manual - **Specific Uses For Product:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![40100 Ikon Desktop Manual Pencil Sharpener, 8 mm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61D--kr5cKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it sharpen charcoal pencils?** A: Yes, to a nice point without breaking. Advise removing the pencil before the sharpener comes to its complete end. Otherwise the tip will be too fine and you’ll break the very tip off the first time you apply it to the paper. Otherwise, makes a very nice sharp point, even on a soft charcoal pencil. **Q: Can this sharpener sharpen Koh-I-Noor Woodless Color pencils ?** A: I think being wordless most sharpeners won't. Color and most pastels pencils can be sharpened with this. Note. Mine broke after 3 months ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pastel Pencils no longer Dull *by D***E on May 3, 2025* I was impressed with this sharpener. I got it to sharpen pastel pencils.

Great sharpener ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best sharpener I've ever used *by L***S on July 23, 2026* I've used many different pencil sharpeners as I work in colored pencil and pastel pencils and almost all of them either broke or were impossible to get snapped leads out of. This sharpener is wonderful and easily creates a very fine point to all my pencils. ### ⭐ Broke after very little use *by D***E on July 20, 2026* This sharpener worked excellent, until it broke. I have hardly used it. I was very happy with the sharp point but there are teeth where you insert the pencil that holds the pencil in place. My pencil was inserted and in the middle of sharpening when it suddenly snapped closed and the teeth will no longer come out to hold the pencil while sharpening. I love the idea of being able to replace the blade when it gets full, but my sharpener hasn't even lasted long enough for that to happen. I can still pull the front plate out, but there is nothing to hold the pencil still and I'm place. It is worthless now. ## Frequently Bought Together - Swordfish 40100 Ikon Desktop Manual Pencil Sharpener, 8 mm - Swordfish 40908 Ikon and Ebony Sharpener Replacement Blade, Silver - Clairefontaine Pastelmat Glued Pad - Palette No. 7 - (9 1/2 x 12 Inches) 24 x 30 cm - 360g - 12 Sheets - Sanguine Red, Sand, Beige, Dark Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12283106-40100-ikon-desktop-manual-pencil-sharpener-8-mm](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12283106-40100-ikon-desktop-manual-pencil-sharpener-8-mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
