CARL Angel-5 Manual Pencil Sharpener with Metal Table Mount. Quiet for the Classroom, Home & Office, Red

I've got an electric pencil sharpener and several ordinary little hand-held ones, but although my other sharpeners are good, this one is my favourite. I've used it on Polychromos, Caran D'Ache Luminance, Albrecht Durer, and many regular sized pencils, and it sharpens them all to long-tipped sharp-point perfection. It's neat and compact and easy to use (though I did have to watch a YouTube vid to work out how to use it the first time!), and I'd hate to be witout it now.

... though it delivers a fantastic sharp point, it’s jammed twice now. I need a metal skewer to unjam it because I don’t see a way of taking it apart. Don’t use it with pastel pencils!

I bought a helix rip off. But just didn't do the job.This is far far superior quality. All metal, super sturdy, and most importantly sharpens pencils, no fuss.Only one small gripe is when tips get broken inside, I had to pull the mechanism out and use a corkscrew to push out the lead that was stuck in it.

Wow. The sharpest pencils ever (mine and all the pencils the kids could find). Works well, especially once I had worked out I needed to pull out the support which then snaps back once you start to sharpen. Well worth the money, especially when you do a lot of on point work like I do. This keeps my lines crisp for much, much longer.

Great sharpener I use faber castell and polychromos this sharpener is the best I've used super sharp point for drawing animal fur.

This item worked for about 20 pencils then just refused to sharpen. For an expensive sharpener it was a total waste of money.

Strong traditional sharpener. Really easy to use and looks robust enough to last for years.

Sharpens like a dream!
