Overview
Two different blades sit inside this Prismacolor sharpener, one cut for a fine point and the other for a wide point. The body is translucent black, so you can see when the shavings need emptying. It is hand powered and made of steel.
Choosing between a fine and a wide point suits artists who shift between detail and shading. The listing does not give hole sizes or say which pencils fit beyond colored pencils, so check your barrel diameters.
Who it's for
Colored pencil artists and students who switch between detail and broad shading get both point types. People sharpening jumbo pencils or large volumes should look at a larger or electric model.
Pros and cons
- Two blades, fine and wide points
- Translucent body shows shavings
- Hand powered and portable
- Hole sizes not listed
- Hand powered only
- Warranty not provided
- Fits only listed pencil types
Performance notes
Each blade cuts a different taper, so the same pencil can be sharpened to a fine point for detail or a wider one for shading. A clear body lets you empty it before shavings jam the blade. Hand powering is slower than a motor.
