Review: Pastel Pencils no longer Dull - I was impressed with this sharpener. I got it to sharpen pastel pencils. Does a really nice job. You have to be aware of what you’re doing as it can sharpen the point to sharp. Pastel pencils will break if given too much of a point. After you realize when to stop it is easy to get the proper point repeated. I read on another review it is a good idea to sharpen a woodless graphite pencil periodically when doing pastel pencils to lubricate the sharpener. Pastel pencils are very abrasive so the graphite helps the helical blade last longer. Shavings are deposited in a drawer and it comes with a desk clamp. Another plus is when the helical blade does get dull it is replaceable. The auto stop feature can’t be used with pastel pencils but graphite pencils can take advantage of the auto stop which can prevent over sharpening. For standard 8mm diameter pencils. The pastel core kept breaking when I used a hand held sharpener. When I figured out how many turns of the handle needed that was no longer an issue with the pastel pencils. Great sharpener
Review: Far superior to anything else for color pencils - Hands down the best sharpener out there, I have bought so many, electric, all types , this one works so well with my color pencils, it doesn’t eat them up like an electric, makes a perfect point and saves so much money on pencils. It’s super easy to use and pays for itself by not wasting your expensive pencils. Save time and frustration buy this! You won’t regret it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it sharpen charcoal pencils?**
A: Yes, to a nice point without breaking.  Advise removing the pencil before the sharpener comes to its complete end. Otherwise the tip  will be too fine and you’ll break the very tip off the first time you apply it to the paper. Otherwise,  makes a very nice sharp point, even on a soft charcoal pencil.

**Q: Can this sharpener sharpen Koh-I-Noor Woodless Color pencils ?**
A: I think being wordless most sharpeners won't.  Color and most pastels pencils can be sharpened with this. Note. Mine broke after 3 months

Hands down the best sharpener out there, I have bought so many, electric, all types , this one works so well with my color pencils, it doesn’t eat them up like an electric, makes a perfect point and saves so much money on pencils.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best pencil sharpener for colored pencils
*by B***8 on January 12, 2025*

This sharpener is quite different from others on the market. But the difference is great for every colored pencils out there. I've used it to sharpen my high quality colored pencils and the lower quality ones that I used to start out. It never breaks the leads (even on the soft core pencils) and it doesn't chew up the wood. It stops when the perfect point is on the pencils and since it's a manual sharpener I can take it anywhere. I've tried a lot of sharpeners and this is the perfect one. If you are having trouble with other sharpeners ruining your expensive pencils, get this one and forget about ruining your pencils forever. I've had this sharpener for quite awhile now and it has never failed me. I can't say that about any of the others I have tried over the years. Get this sharpener and you will never be disappointed again.
