Uni Mitsubishi Pencil Sharpener Manual Blue KH20.33 (Japan Import)

Fantastic pencil sharpener. I so wish I had this year's ago. What an amazing job it has done to every single one of my pencils both graphic and coloured, hard and soft! It gives you a longer but much smoother and sharper cut to your pencils and there is also a button on the side of the handle you can press to give you a blunt finish. It also doesn't over sharpen. Rather it stops when the pencil is sharp and hardly removes anything compared to a normal sharpener. I was totally surprised by how little was collected in the tray and I've used lots of different pencil sharpeners. This is by far the best pencil sharpener in the world, in my opinion.

took a while to arrive (which I knew beforehand) but it was well worth the wait. Works well.

great sharpener do prefer the shallower angle of the cut

If not the best pencil sharpener in the world, then close to it.

Fantastic sharpener! Highly recommended :)

Used it for about three months to sharpen my pastel pencils, worked well to begin with but after sharpening about 40 pencils it failed to work, the blade is so blunt I doubt it would sharpen a piece of chalk I have e-mailed the company but no reply. I would not reccomend this item I would go further and say avoid at all costs. Do not waste your money.

This is a great colored pencil sharpener! It's very well made. The shavings bin on the bottom is twice as deep as my other helical type sharpener which means fewer trips to the waste basket. The "rabbit ear" style pinchers on the top front which hold the pencil in place during sharpening work easily. You poke the pencil into the hole while pinching those sticky-uppy parts and pull the front out until it grasps the pencil firmly. You let go, hold the sharpener with your left hand and crank the crank with your right hand, gently. Pencils with hard wood casings might be harder to sharpen but this sharpener can handle it. The button to get a sharp point or a rounded point works just fine, in for rounded point, out for sharp point. And I do love that long long point. I thought I'd be breaking a lot of tips, but if I'm coloring gently as I should for layering, that point lasts! And the accuracy of a fine sharp point is SO satisfying! When the front of the sharpener is out, the shavings bin is not open at the top where there might be a danger of shavings falling out, it is covered . This, in my opinion, makes this sharpener just a little above my other favorite sharpener. My Dahle 133 will give me very good performance every day for about 4 years, and a nice sharp regular length point. This sharpener is bigger--a real handful--and gives a fabulous long point. It all depends on what you're looking for. I wanted TWO helical sharpeners so I wouldn't run out of help. Nothing like a decent sharpener to make coloring a true pleasure. I RECOMMEND this sharpener! Dahle's "big brother!"

Ein wirklich toller Spitzer! Noch nie so ein tolles Ergebnis gesehen. Macht wirklich Spaß danach zu zeichnen. Er nimmt aber ordentlich Material weg - Stifte schrumpfen schnell. Würde ihn aber trotzdem uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

Es hermosa y deja los lápices muy bien afilados, genial !

A definite must have for a crank sharpener!

A simple sharpener but it gives lovely long point, does not leave teeth marks from the gripping mechanism in the pencil and automatically stops when the pencil is sharp. What more do you need from a sharpener? Very happy with my purchase.
