Prismacolor Premier Pencil Sharpener

hi i loved this product. i bought it for sharpening my sketching pencils but my father suddenly jumped upon it and started sharpening with it. he use pencils for manuscript writing / marking. opening the tub is little tricky btw so after monkeyed around i figured it out from youtube so it is not user friendly at one go. it is cool/precise product which does the job way better. pricing is high or overpriced IMO. thx sayantan

Amazing little thing. I tried searching for a lot of sharpeners on amazon for a very short length sharpening angle and could not find many that were good. This though, is amazing. Has a medium and short length sharpening angles that i personally like the most, build quality is great. Overall just a great artist grade sharpener at a reasonable price.

Absolutely fantastic product. If you are using prismacolor colored pencil than you should definitely buy this. This is the only sharpner which specially designed according the shape of pencil. So it sharp pencil without breaking it tip. Artist should Definitely buy this.

This is a handy and good to have sharpener. I bought it for Polychromos. Pros: -Two holes; wide angle and fine point (Wide angle is better to reduce pencil point breakage problem) -Large casing -Excellent blade quality (It even sharps smoothly through my cheap colored pencils with bad wood quality) -Ergonomic Cons: -On the expensive side (Seriously ~400INR?!) -Difficult/No instructions on how to open. (You have to pull out the black part written Prismacolor with little force and then lift the now exposed top part with thumb). When package arrive a tiny piece of plastic was broken and was making now. I don't know from where it broke or what part it is. But the sharpener is working smoothly.

Tried sharpening some colour pencils. Got excellent points on them without breaking. Good buy.

It's an expensive item in the age of freebies. Still it's good quality.

This is really cool... It's more than I expected! Thank you prismacolour .

It's very helpful if you are using color pencils as they are very sensitive that we can't sharpen them with ordinary sharpners.

Sharpens my prismacolor pencils very well, no more broken leads.

私は日本でカリスマカラーを愛用しておりますが、カリスマカラーはプリズマカラーと同一の芯を使って日本国内で加工された製品です。 ですから、プリズマカラーと同一の芯であるものをプリズマカラー純正の削り器で削れるということ自体がまず私にとってはうれしいことです。 サイズ感としては初めて見たとき「やや大きいかな？」とも思ったのですが、すぐ気にならなくなりました。むしろ削りカスが多く入るということで利点のように感じています。 そもそも鉛筆削り器というものは消耗品であって、刃の切れ味が悪くなってきたら交換するものなのですが、私はこの削り器が気に入ったので、刃が鈍くなったら外して刃を研いででも使い続けるでしょう。（刃はプラスのネジで止められています 買ってよかったと心から思いながら毎日使っています。 (20260504：追記) この削り器は通常の鉛筆はもちろん使えるのですが、カランダッシュルミナンス6901のような太軸（8ｍｍ）の色鉛筆も削ることができます。 鉛筆削り器は様々なものを試しましたが中でも本商品がもっとも鋭く削れます。ピンッピンの針のような仕上がりです。

Sharpener sharpens all pencils sharply without breaking, performs well as compared to the price paid. However, I cannot seem to pull the cover to empty the shavings.

When you use hundreds of Prisma Pencils, keeping them sharp is hard work. After a few years, you find yourself collecting pencil sharpeners, hoping to find THE one that makes it easy, that produces a fine point, that holds breakage to a minimum, that feels good in the hand, and other attributes as well. This sharpener meets all the above requirements. Let me describe why I like it: • It is large enough to fit in the hand so that you can hold it steady. A precise angle must be maintained, so a sharpener that is steady in the hand is half-way there before you even put the pencil in. • It has a ⅜ inch neck that grips pencils with close tolerance. This is the other half of getting that precise angle and maintaining it. As you turn the pencil, the neck holds the pencil steady and doesn't allow it to tilt in relation to the sharpener. I just checked a half-dozen pencil sharpeners whose necks were from 1/16 inch to ⅛ inch. They do not hold the pencil straight. • This sharpener produces two points; wide and narrow. If you are a pencil artist, you know when each type is more favorable. Most sharpeners do one or the other. usually it's the fat slope, whose point wears quickly, but otherwise lasts a long time. The fine point will do detail work for a little longer between sharpenings. I'm very glad to have both kinds. • It collects wood and core shavings. They stay inside. If you turn it over, you don't get colored grit on your hands, which then gets on your drawings. The lid keeps everything in, yet flips up instantly when needed. • Empties easily once you figure out how. How to remove the cap: the top ⅜" (or just under a half-inch with the cap snapped down) is the part that comes off. It looks like part of the body, but it is tapered so that you can push up on it with your thumbs, and it will come straight out. Do not twist! Do not pull on the cap. The cap will last a long time if you don't pull or twist it. So, just get your thumbs under that last half-inch (avoid the decorative "wrap" part) and push straight up. • Large enough to hold a lot of shavings, yet small enough to fit in most bags without having to reorganize. • Will not dump shavings in your drawing bag/satchel/pack/case/drawer. • Pencil shavings are not pretty to look at. The smoked color of the Prismacolor sharpener means you don't have to. • Stands easily on its circular base. • While it is round (cylindrical), it is weighted so as to resist rolling. On a flat-rubber surface, I had to tilt it beyond 8 degrees to cause it to roll (empty). That's a greater incline than any railroad grade, and more than all but the steepest of automobile grades. It'll give you a fighting chance to catch it before it rolls down the hill you're sitting on while drawing Mount Rushmore. About broken pencil leads in Prismacolors: A dull pencil sharpener, and/or one that does not hold the pencil at the same exact angle against the blade, can indeed break the lead before you've finished sharpening, but that is not the major cause of broken leads. Prismacolors are very soft. Drop a pencil, and even though the wood appears unbroken, the soft core "crayon" inside will shatter in as many as a dozen places. Trying to sharpen one of these is an exercise in futility, and you often have to wait until you get to the end of one before it stops breaking off inside the sharpener. This is not the fault of the sharpener, though as stated above, dull cutters and loose necks can cause most sharpeners to twist off a shattered core before THIS sharpener would do so. Generally, as long as these cutters are kept sharp, this sharpener will resist breaking the core of the pencil. It must be understood, however, that once a pencil has been dropped onto a hard surface, or bent, its core is shattered and no sharpener can prevent it from breaking. You can only hope to find a piece that's long enough to hold until sharpened, then strong enough to hold while you draw. To sum up: the broken cores inside a pencil get twisted out by a dull sharpener or one that cannot maintain a proper angle. While no sharpener can prevent your pencil cores from being broken internally, this one at least does its best not to exacerbate the problem. In short, don't blame the sharpener... up to a point. Ok, so it's a long review for one of the simplest and ordinary tools in our box. But the thing is, there are differences between pencil sharpeners. I have them all. I love some of my tiny, handy sharpeners that can go in a pocket, a pencil case, an Altoids box (along with several erasers and other tools), but they are all guilty of being messy and not holding a perfect angle. This Prismacolor sharpener may be a bit more bulky, but it is probably the best sharpener I've used on Prismacolor Pencils, for the reasons stated above. If it wears out quickly, then I'll take back my 5-star rating, but so far it deserves what I gave it. Shooshie
