Mobius & RuppertSolid Brass Pencil Sharpener Circular Round Double Heavy Duty Sharpener 5112 (Dual Size Barrel)

This is the third one of these sharpeners I have bought. One for each case, that's how much I like them. Sturdy, efficient and makes a really sharp point without breaking the lead. I have used it with coloured water soluable pencils and it works splendidly on the softer 'leads'.

The solid brass construction makes for a sturdy pencil sharpener that feels heavy in the hand. The blades are extremely sharp and effortlessly sharpen pencils. This works as a double-edged sword, however (quite literally), as the geometry means that you're at risk of stabbing yourself while using it. You can probably guess how I found that out... Yes, it's expensive for a pencil sharpener, but worth it for the experience in my eyes. The larger sharpening hole will also come in handy for carpenter's pencils, which makes it pretty versatile (though that's not an original idea by any means).

Excellent sharpener. Sharpens my Prismacolors to a point with no breaks. Also fab with my other pencils, Polys, Derwent chromaflow etc. love that you can get replaceable blades too.

Best sharpener i have come across.

This is just lovely. It’s pleasingly weighty, despite it’s small size (not much more than a stack of 3 pound coins) - but not so much that I begrudge carrying it in my bag every day. Lovely to look at, and - most importantly - a brilliant sharpener. Or two sharpeners, really. You get a very long, sharp point, whichever of the two blades you use, and a very pleasing, tight, single shaving every time, meaning it’s a lot less messy than other sharpeners that don’t include a collector.

A great solid sharpener with a definite feel of quality. The only issue I have with this one of the M&R range is that the very corner of the blade you are not using tends to dig into your fingers as you hold the sharpener. Excellent value.

Good quality sharpener with 2 blade options

A pencil sharpener, better than the plastic ones but great for camping to to start a fire with the shavings from bits of twigs on the ground. Highly recommend this.
